Get it set on a 2650 dpi Linotronic ?

/* mild personal nit to pick */

I'm getting real tired of seeing books, forms, and ad's in magazines
set with a laser printer instead of a phototypesetter.

That 3 volume O'reilly series about X-Windows, for exmaple is laser typeset,
and it doesnt look like a real book somehow.  More like a thick company
newsletter.

I can't help but feel that we're making negative progress here.
