>	1. Does a laser printer exist? Can I easily buy one?
Yes. No. I saw and touched the laser printer out at Comdex, but have
yet to see them for sale locally. It is also available from other
companies for the IBM PC, so I would imagine the delays are more
supply/demand related than vaporware related.
>	2. Does Desktop Publishing software for the ST exist?
Yes. I saw several packages at the show. Publishing Partner 2.0 looked
very nice (much changed from the first few versions that hit the
street). For those with more expensive tastes, the 'preferred' package
that Atari seemed to push was a package from a company whose name
started with G.O. (sorry, my Comdex literature is all packed up for
the next Atari Meeting...pretty ragged from the first one...so the
names escape me). That package was expensive, but very complete. It
appeared to have all the functionality of the BIG packages on the PC
and MAC (in fact it is offered on the PC). Even lino-type support.
