I would own a Spectre now if the Appletalk support was included. Almost every job I've had in recent memory had an Appletalk network and a nice Laserwriter NX II at the end of it. How I would have loved to have had a Mega 4 on my desk running spectre (w/appletalk) instead of a wimpy little Mac plus. I had my current boss convinced into buying 30-40 Mega 4's with GCR packages until we realized that his Laserwriters would be useless without the Appletalk interface. (And don't try to tell me that we could have bought SM804', as they aren't nearly as good as the Apple printers). So the end result was that he ended up buying 25 Mac IIcx's. Typical end to a typical Atari story...sigh...
