Oh yeah, sure. Like 30 minutes to print from a Mac DOS card. Like the fact
that Kinko's bought HP 4MVs rather than the Apple for monochrome work,
which is the bulk of its business. That an entire newsgroup exists just to
deal with Apple printer related problems. That Apple engineers never
answer the posts. That Open Transport is a disaster zone.

No page accounting, no password security, no status updates; all of which
are standard on Lexmark, HP, Sharp etc.  No bi-directional paralell port.
No driver developer's kit like HP Explorer.

No problems at all.  Apple also had an immaculate conception. All those
morons who buy HP rather than Apple printers.

Imagine that !
