The point is that rather than buying a MB of memory and an additional 68000 processor of some sort in a printer, where it's not much use most of the time, I'd rather allocate any additional memory to my Mac/SE, perhaps turning it into a 2MB machine. At that point, I could run MultiFinder and do the printing in the background anyway. Bob Sidebotham (bob+@andrew.cmu.edu) Carnegie Mellon University
