Oh, I believe you, but in my home situation it just is not very
necessary. I don't need speed. It won't happen that much that I will
use it to print serious postscript stuff at home, and when printing
from the plus we are talking Times, which is already in ROM.
You made me thinking about the IIg board. I could hook up my iMac SE
to the laserwriter IINT too then, saving money on expensive epson
inktcartridges (the refills and clones aren't very good).
Right now the ethernet port of the iMac is occupied by the utp cable
from my Internet-by-cable provider, so I'll first have to get myself
a router to do that... I noticed the Farallon Netline broadband is
not to expensive...
sigh... Will the spending of money never stop?
Anyone know an even cheaper hardware router?
