I could hardly deal with that high pitched grinding sound that took an eternity to print!
Yep. I worked for a company that printed massive sales reports on one. The printing lasted all day, every day. One day I got moved to a desk that was right next to that awful, noisy printer. After I complained, they moved me around a couple of times, but by then they were preparing to fire me. That happened soon thereafter.Remember the racket a dot-matrix printer made whenever you printed those primitive computer graphics? Oh my...I could hardly deal with that high pitched grinding sound that took an eternity to print!![]()
I'll never forget the sound:
My first computer was an Epson Apex with a CGA monitor and an Epson 9-pin dot matrix printer. The whole setup cost something like $3500 in 1989:
Actually, that's just a picture of what it looked like. The system I had came with First Choice and a couple other little programs. I recall having to put the DOS disk in one drive and the program in the other. Then if I wanted to save data I had to shuffle the disks around. I'd love to see some kids today try to operate one of those old, slow beasts.![]()
ROFL!!! Oh yeah, I recall those old Commodores with the tape drive. It's amazing the stuff we did on those old machines.
