In response to 1903@ihlpl.ATT.COM

	In a recent message Ted Alonso (ihnp4!ihlpl!juracan) asks some questions
about the new Macintosh II and laser printers.

	1)  I understand that QMS is producing a postscript printer, that is 
	cheaper than the LaserWriter.  But it has a draw back I understand:  
	it does not have as much RAM, and therefore is slower than the 
	LaserWriter.

	2)  If developers wrote or modified their applications to be in 
	compliance with the guidelines set out by Apple, they should run
	on the Macintosh II.  Apple is major applications for compatibility
	and informing developers of the results.  It is a good bet that by
	the time the Macintosh II ships, most if not all major applications
	will be compatibile.

	3)  Well behaved applications should run under A/UX, which provides
	access to the toolbox.  For those that are not well behaved, it will
	be up to the developers to make them well behaved if they want them
	to run under A/UX.

	4)  I do not know what color view graphs are.  Could you please tell
	me.
