In this month's PC World magazine, they had a review of Postscript laser
printers ("LaserJets are dead" according to them).  Guess which one came
out on top?  "The LaserWriter IINTX sets a new standard."

Humerous:  IBM's recently announced laser printer has a LocalTalk port.
Could you imagine hooking an IBM printer up to a Macintosh network?
(Maybe IBM's printer is trained to barf on the LaserPrep from a Mac :-)

Oh, and PC World had something to say about this IBM laser printer:  It
is $800 over-priced.
