I third that sentiment!
I do keep a working printer for each family of computer (Tandy, Commodore, PC, etc.)
I think a printing exhibit / group / room would be worth doing next year. Demonstrate how to print, load paper etc. Can't believe this needs an exhibit to expose people to "what was printing", but these are the times we're in.
And that's not a bad thing. Pop it in an AI and get a video ;-) Nothing beats the sound of an IBM chain printer running at full blast! I still have my Atari 825 printer (Centronics 730 with an Atari Interface). It even has the brown 'toilet' paper roll (I think it's a roll). I do need to ink the ribbon. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
