I bought it on June 10, 1987.

It translated newlines into spaces when
sending the program to the printer, which
screwed up "currentfile int str readline".
I complained about this, and the "architect"
of the program didn't know what I was talking
about.  Said he'd have to talk with the
programmer.  I'm still waiting for a fixed
copy.  I like it when companies treat their
bleeding edge bug-finding customers better
than that.

There were also problems with it crashing.
There were also some nice things about it.

Anybody have any idea how Lasertalk manages to get at the printer's bitmap.
There "ain't no way" within standard PostScript that I am aware of.
