I have 2 Brother printers; love them!

In a prior life I was a television tech (they’re disposable, now). I once was called to a home to look at a nearly new television. When I got there, I discovered it had been shot right through the middle of the picture tube.
The shooting was accidental, it happened years ago, and in a state (Idaho) where police don’t get involved every time a weapon is discharged.
The shooter had the cheek to ask me if the shot picture tube could be replaced under warranty.

Call me old but I’d rather have a dot matrix printer that “just works”.

Geez - I finally got rid of my last dot matrix printer just last year. It was a sad day, but I hadn't used it in years.
You're right - they're bullet-proof. I don't even know if you can get one without a parallel port connection, though.
I think I have 15-20 parallel port cables in a box somewhere. None of my machines can use them...

Priceless article and comments...
By the way...

I used to live on the Sacramento river. There are several pieces of expensive and previously annoying electronics sleeping with the fishes in that river

Oh yeah. Mine, too. Huge deal when they replaced the 026 keypunch with 029 in the shop. The 029 keypunch could use drum cards, so you could pre-format your FORTRAN and COBOL statements to the correct margin, and put numbers in the 73-80 columns automatically.

Was he charged with Computercide? Of course, I had times with Windows that I wanted to shoot my computer, but I decided to change... Linux.
