Huh? What response?

What original posting, for that matter?

What were the bad points about the Jasmine/Qume printer? What little I
know of the printer is that it's a really good machine (if you're
willing to use a postscript clone). I remember one problem with it which
related to Bitstream's acquisition of an improved font format, which
required an upgrade to use new fonts, but as far as I know
1) This wasn't a bug, it was an added feature.
2) The upgrade was distributed free by Jasmine.

Is there something else I don't know about?
