What *I* really want is a clean, portable DVI to moderate resolution dot
matrix printer.  Admittedly Macs are cheap but an FX-85 is quite a bit
cheaper.  After all an important motivation for acquiring TeX is the
tremendous benefit/cost ratio which implies that many of the sites using
TeX won't have a double-handfull of Macs around for people to use for
previewing.  I might feel better if the target was an IBM PC rather than
the Mac.
