I  have  a friend who would like to bring  a  quarterly  magazine 
which  currently  runs at about 10 pages with colour  prints  and 
costs about 3K for 2000 copies. They want to buy a PC rather than 
MAC  but  compatibility is a stumbling block. They  are  familiar 
with PCs but not MACs and would prefer a PC system.

Perhaps   a   second  hand Powermac?  Could  someone  suggest   a  
suitable setup?  They had ideas of bringing the scanning in-house  
too.   I  was  going to show them what one can  do  witha   NIKON 
COOLSCAN   ona   PC,  but  I see two problems at least.  One   is  
getting   anything  print  ready is likely to  be  difficult  and 
secondly,  how does  one get such large files to a  printer?  The 
graphics  images  must take up quite a bit of  storage.  Finally, 
what's the best DTP to use? 

Does anyone know of any good companies who deal with  such small
clients and who can be relied on to do a good job, and advise on
equipment?
