   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?
