READ OUR COLLECTIVE LIPS:
You can attach the selfsame LaserWriter IINT to a cube, and have printing
not impact the cube's performance AT ALL.
Or you can buy a NeXT printer, save $2000+, and be patient while you're
printing.
IT IS A CHOICE, FOLKS. IT IS NOT nExt-PRINTER OR NOTHING.
So shut up about the printer, and b***h about slightly less nonsensical things
instead.
