I think that including the full LaserWriter Plus typefaces *would* be 
good for business. I know that we would buy lots of copies if it would
cost us $99 per workstation instead of $298. 
Our users our used to using the full set of fonts stored in the LW Plus.
They don't understand the largely historical distinction between the font
sets in the LaserWriter classic and the LW Plus, and they are not going
to embrace any product that only enhances their use of Times and Helvetica.
If Adobe really wants ATM to become a de facto standard in the Macintosh
workplace, they should bite the bullet, and include all of the fonts that
everyone is  used to using.  I can't believe that we are the only installation
that would like to improve their font imaging, but not at a cost of
$300 per worker.
