I am interested in using them on an apple network, and would like to find out more about the quality and reliability of the GCC printer vs. the Apple. I am familiar with using the apples and am very satisfied with their quality and reliability. But have no experience using the GCC. I know from a review that I read that the GCC is at least a grand less than the apple, and that you can connect a local disk drive to it for both spooling and font storage - something that the NT doesnt provide. BUt the engine on the GCC is only rated at 180,000 copies and the NT comes in at 300,000. I have read the review from MacWorld - but wanted to converse with someone who has actually used them (GCC and NT) in a more industrial setting. thanks in advance 'mark -- =============== regards 'mark ============================================= Mark Ahlenius voice:(708)-632-5346 email: uunet!motcid!ahleniusm Motorola Inc. fax: (708)-632-2413 Arlington, Hts.
