     Indeed!  Raster is faster.  This concept should become more apparent as these
systems develop (i.e., 960 jets versus 96 jets) in the future.

     Precisely!  And that's a good comparison.  Not that many years ago, pen
plotters dominated the CAD hardcopy market, but now raster devices -- primarily
ink jet printers -- dominate.  The pen plotter market is all but dead.  Could
history repeat itself in the RP market?
