Absolutely correct!  I'm told (sic) that the Laserwriter printer support
is truly amazing!  No matter what you print, no matter what options you
set, or how many users print, the Laserwrite spews out blank,
meangingless pages!  Occasionally it will interject a few random
commentaries on things unrelated to what you printed, or asked it to
print.
I'm also told, that 386BSD v1.0 is quite capable of throwing itself at
the ground and missing.
