    You’re certainly not wrong. I have two Okidata 320 Turbos in my basement that were manufactured some time in the late '80’s that still work just fine, if I ever have occasion to fire one up (which is almost never). They don’t need a single damn thing, ever, except some tractor feed paper and a ribbon. They’ll probably outlive me.

      I remember when printing something meant using this paper.

        I had a dot matrix in the newsroom I worked in mid-90s. We had to cut the printout down and tape it to 8x11 paper to fit in the document stand in the broadcast booth …

        Nothing like being 45 seconds to air and hoping “BRRRRT BRRRRT BRRRRRRRRT” finished up real soon

        Never jammed, never went offline, never ran out of Cyan …
