Scott,

Thanks for posting that Las Vegas Apple user group newsletter from 1993. Those were the days, my friend ...

I'm glad you got the stock PublishIt! 4 furnished LaserPrep to work with GhostScript. I remember having to make some modifications to it when I used to run those PublishIt! PTD files through Adobe Acrobat Distiller to make .pdf files. {IIRC, I think it choked on the LaserWriter-specific functions}.

I even read the reviews in the newsletter. I guess Gary Hayman (who wrote the Ultra 4 review) never thought enough about it to upgrade his 'Magic File Cabinet' to work with it, or perhaps the market was just too small by then.

Again, thanks. Will there be more?




Hugh Hood
