You are absolutely right EXCEPT:
1. They are vastly cheaper PER PAGE to operate.
2. They don't encourage none-computer work (resumes, papers for other
classes, etc.)
3. One can start with a few and incrementally build up to more as
requirements dictate and funds allow.
4. 8 ImageWriters provide more throughput than 1 LaserWriter.
Still, even considering the above 4 points, I agree with you, David.
