You haven't lived until you've fed a PostScript document to a
non-PostScript printer. PostScript is actually a reverse Polish
programming language so what you wind up with is a program listing with
bits and pieces of the actual text embedded in it.

Don Lancaster pushed PostScript about as far as it could go. iirc he was
using it to drive an x/y table.
