I agree. So can mine. Unfortunately, I don't have a laser printer on my desk. Do you? Alright, lets have a show of hands. How many of you GS owners out there also own a laser printer? None? I thought so. And, if I decided I wanted to, I could use the GS with say AppleWorks GS. But the NeXT has display Postscript, an obvious boon for publishing. The Mac and the NeXT were MADE for desktop publishing, why not use them for that? > >/**********************************************************************\ >|* Joe "Gonzo" Wankerl |*| The views expressed here are *| >|* BITNET => JWANKERL@UTCVM |*| not necessarily yours... *| >|* |*| ...but they should be. *| >\**********************************************************************/ -- Jawaid Bazyar | This message was posted to thousands of machines Junior/Computer Engineering | throughout the entire civilized world.
