Can someone think of an example where ghostscript on the 3000 would be
useful?  Seems to me that you'd have to be generating Postscript on the
3000 but not have a Postscript printer.  Most of the sources of Postscript
are going to end up on PCs rather than the 3000, and ghostscript is
a pretty CPU-intensive rasterizing process that I'm not sure you'd want
to be doing on the 3000.
