Well, it really depends whether your happy with the QMS personal or the
HP printers.  The major computer outlets around here are unloading their
HP laserjet IIs for under $1000 for a while now (three months now?) so
as a base for a postscript machine, its nice.  Plus you get normal HP PCL3
for free to boot which isn't that bad really (other than being extremely
slow switching between modes, about 1 minute for the HP or PS self test to
run before going to the correct mode).
