I have two friends contemplating major investments
in a computer system.
One needs a Professional Desktop Publishing system
and is concerned with having output
to a linotronics machine. She claims printers in the area
will not read AMIGA disks. They will read MAC disks.
Can Pro Page and AMAX solve her problem?
The second friend may need to use IBM compatible business software
and also video editing.
Would the bridgecard solve their problem?
To both these friends I have recommended the AMIGA. I would
be interested in hearing from people who run IBM business
software through the bridgeboard and others that use
their AMIGA for Professional QUality Desk Top Publishing.
I have seen the article in AW on DTP and have referred to
the DTP companies in the area.
I would like to hear from others though!

Re: Can ProPage and A-Max solve this problem? Yes... I have been doing that since A-Max came out with no problem. If you have ProPage 1.1 or 1.2, print the pages into file in PostScript. Use FTF transfer technique on A-Max to transfer the TEXT PS file to Mac Disk, take the disk to printing service and use LaserTalk (or something similar) to dump the PS file directly to the LaserWrite (and remember to download the necessary fonts to the printer first.) If you have ProPage v1.3, export your pages to EPS format, use FTF on A-Max to transfer the EPS file to Mac Disk, take the disk to printing service, import it into PageMaker v3.02 (or v3.01), than print it directly from PM. :-)
