2003-03-29 Thread Dave Lee
Hi Folks, I need some advice. I want to buy a Laserwriter to use with my Mac SE/30. I would also like to use it with my G4 (with a Griffin adapter which I have yet to buy) if possible. I have come across two models. One is a Personal Laserwriter NTR, which has 300dpi resolution and 16ppm,

New face here. Just picked up a couple of IIci's for play learning. Adam, have you considered something like QuickKeys (haven't used it) or Tempo II Plus? The latter was more a scripter than macro recorder. Thanks for the suggestions :) I haven't used either before, but I'll start
