What's >currently available for a lower-end postscript laser ? >-- jms Slide Systems: Apple's expected linking of cd rom (near the end of this year) in conjunction with the now available Laser Video would bear some investigation. The interface board ($approx. 1,200.00) may inhibit that direction for the Apple line temporarily, and thought may go towards an IBM clone for this service. The laser disk could be used for open ended instructional purposes or as interreactive (audience or keyboard) visual display. Take a hard look, new technology may yeild new problems or be the exact thing for you. Mac+ vs etc: SE is the one now, maybe the II in the immediate future. The SE reasons are 1. Hard Drive 2. Quasi IBM compatible 3. The advertising material I have been looking at has stated that the SE will have the capability of operating in a Berk. 4.2 environment. (But then again when purchasing cpu's and related components, being from Mo. is the save way to view things.) 3. Low end Laser printer. On a TV show last night, I saw the announcement for the new Apple low end laser printer. It also was stated that it will not be Postscript capable.
