Guess what I saw tonight at 11:50pm EST during Nightline? Low and
behold I saw an ad from Atari for the Mega 4, monitor, and SLM804
laser printer. All of which cost less than the Apple Laserwriter NTX,
or some laser from IBM. Anyway, it went on to boast some features.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen this ad. It's great to see
Atari finally advertising, but there was one thing that bothered me.
Maybe I was alseep or something, but I could have sworn I heard the ad
say that the SLM804 was PostScript compatible???? That's pushing it
isn't it( assuming I heard correctly)? Is Ultrascript that compatible
that you could print postscript files on the Atari Laser? More
importantly has anyone seen this ad, too? If so did this seem kind of 
odd? If you haven't seen it, look out for it and watch for where they
talk about the Atari printer vs postscript printers.
