Call your printer or PX6000 HPCL3500X? He is certainly one of the effeminate inkjet or laser printers that are now unfortunately found en masse in the shops. There were the 80's but other times! Yes, because the company knew to whom they sold their dot matrix printer! There were, for example, a company that is simply called "Gorilla". And she brought out a model, which they gave the name "banana". Excerpt from a former ad :

"... Tractor feed ... plus its unique print head features a single hammer (!) Design ..." Well, you have even more to say? No, certainly not. Today we are in this context, possibly eastern textile mills for an underwear ... as times change.

Well, on our Gorilla Banana, I came across an article in Popular Science in 1985. Because for a short time you can about the Google book search is no longer looking just books - lots of magazines have been scanned. And the archives often reaching into the 60-year return. A treasure trove for anyone who wants to prove that half a century ago was not even smarter than they are today. Go to "Advanced search" and point "magazines" for. - Link to the gorilla article . Google Magazine Search, example computer magazines .
