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 asked the bbn library staff to call the Brady Company, and they
said that the book will not be available until at least July 1985.
I guess, that by then it will be at least 9-12 months out of date.
