[vcf-midatlantic] Greenbar printout DONE!

[Andrew Diller]

Just to be clear- when you say they are line printers, that means that they have pins across the entire width of the paper/platen - and can print an entire line at a time, right? There is no moving print head...

I just recall work I did in undergrad at University of MD in early '90s and in the 'machine room' there was some sort of IBM line printer that seemed to spit the paper out at like 80mph, and was... loud.

I recall having to get print outs from the pascal code there for some home work or something.

Those type of line printers right?
