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. -Todd Burkey trb@stag.UUCP
