That sounds like a really good deal you got.  Does it do true gray scale 
and/or variable dot sizes?  In my next printer, I really want this, but
I don't know if it is actually realistic.  Frankly, unless things change
a lot I'm going to hold off on the printer until I get either an O2, or
some other nice SGI and a nice Mac based video capture/playback solution.

My spigotpower a/v plan ain't going well.  For the life of me I can't get
my 840av to load the extension.  I might be able to convince the machine to
capture uncompressed video, but it is iffy and would require at least another
$150 or more, and I've already spent enough money trying to get this to work.
It's time for a new plan.
