The Atari ST had some great word publishing, graphics and desktop publishing software. All designed to give you the flexibility to create outstanding documents and graphics, especially for that time. But now, it's next to impossible to print those precious works of art. Unless you have a real Atari ST and a real printer from that timeframe, you're mostly out of luck.
