I called Adobe to order ATM. They told me that they would be delighted to sell it for $99 and ship in the undetermined future but that I may be happier paying $60 for overnight delivery from a firm like MacWarehouse. They were right. Two points for honesty. The product is excellent. I don't have an Imagewriter but I do have a fax modem and the output from it is dramatically better. The screen output is also much easier to read. The performance difference is less than I expected. Oddball comments though... Only two applications I use don't work with ATM. Cricket Chart 1.3 is a disappointing product to start with made more so by not working w/ATM. I remember Brian mentioning that Illustrator 88 doesn't work with it. He wasn't kidding. Adobe at least promises an upgrade. When I bought most of my fonts, Adobe sold them with copy-protection. They sent backup disks to registered users and later offered to "upgrade" to the non-copy-protected versions for (as I recall) $50 apiece. Didn't seem worth it at the time. Those protected fonts don't work with ATM though. (The "upgrade" is still not worth $50 on principle!) All in all, I am just a satisfied customer. ----------------------------------------------------------- Lloyd Buchanan uunet!axecore!lloyd Axe Core Investors lloyd%axecore@uunet.uu.net Axe Castle (914) 333-5226 (phone) Tarrytown, NY 10591 (914) 333-5203 (FAX)
