1)  Rumor from a friend in the business of designing laser printers has
Apple using the Post Script protocol from Adobe systems to specify their
page layouts.  This is important because

        a) Microsoft and QMS both will support the same protocol.
        b) Mergenthaler Linotype signed with Adobe to provide high-
           quality digitized fonts for the PostScript protocol.

2)  He also says that it will be massively intelligent and will include
a 12 Mhz 68000 and 2 megabytes of 256Kbit RAMs.  He cannont see how
it will come out for less than $8000.  (QMS's version of the Canon
is said to be similar and costs $10000).

3)  One possibility if this is all true is that Apple may be able to sell IBM
compatible laser printers, as Microsoft will surely bring out a PostScript
compatible version of Word.
