From: mikec%ucbssl.CC@Berkeley (Mike Chin) Is there any truth to the rumor that "Inside Mac" will be availible in a hardbound book form? Is there any good alternative to "Inside Mac" now? Comment on Apple Laser Printer: We've been using a Cannon Laser printer on our Suns for about 3mos. The output looks great, but the recommended usage is only about 130 sheets a day. So far, this hasn't been a problem; we started out with only lineprinter and nroff when we first got the Suns, so typically, we nroff documents until we're think they're close, and then troff them on the Cannon.

I guess, that by then it will be at least 9-12 months out of date. joel
