	Given that our PrintServer 20 has been on the market for approx.
	2 years,  it's understandable that more recently introduced
	products would include impovements in throughput, among other
	things.  I'm confident that the PrintServer 20 is not the last
	PrintServer product we will bring to market.

	These products have different speed ratings.  The PrintServer 20 is
	rated at 20 ppm whereas the H-P LJIII Si is rated at 17 ppm.

	There is a price differential.  IT IS NOT, HOWEVER, ANYWHERE NEAR 10x.

	I think it's reasonable for readers of this news group to expect
	that assertions made by submitters be accurate.
