Here's an article you posted recently to this newsgroup: In article <9465@imagen.UUCP> ib@apolling (Ivan N. Bach) writes: *munck@chance.UUCP (Robert Munck) writes: * *>Wow!

The rest of us have to pay our bills ourselves. I am almost *certain that you have never used a PostScript interpreter in the executive or *interactive mode, and have no idea what I am talking about. MITRE is not a defense contractor. We work directly for the government as a Federal Contract Research Center. In fact, approximately one third of our work has nothing to do with defense. But I must admit, we do waste money. Our nine Imagen printers, which I unfortunately purchased, are probably our biggest waste of money. Had the PrintServer 20 only come out a little earlier. Your haranguing Adobe only serves to belittle yourself and demean the company for which you work. |Ted Ede -- ted@mbunix.mitre.org -- The MITRE Corporation -- Burlington Road| | linus!mbunix!ted -- Bedford MA, 01730 -- Mail Stop B090 -- (617) 271-7465 | | - this line intentionally left blank - | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
