7300 fire sale

[Bill Mayhew]

The price sheet I received from Digital Data Systems was dated,
"prices effective 4/29/88".  The AST Turbolaser was indeed listed
for $3595.  It was a postscript model, but I there wasn't
any mention of the amount of memory installed in the printer.  I
don't have any opinions + or - about the Turbolaser, as I have
never had the pleasure of using one; I thought it was interesteing
in that DDS offers the 3b1 / emacs / wizard/ps troff / Turbolaser
as a "kit", thus making it a more or less complete desktop
publishing system.  Unfortunately, I don't think it would exactly
be an optimal desktop publishing system with only 1/2 meg of memory
in the 3b1 that is part of the "kit".  I think it would be a good
idea to order some extra memory too.
