New, gee-whiz super computer, and no f***ing parallel port! Looks like
I'm behind the times. Again. Am I the only one with still working,
perfectly good old printers?
Apparently. I just replaced my old HP 6L laser printer because it likes to
take a handful of sheets of paper instead of one at a time. That wasn't much
of a problem, because you could have some rollers replaced and everything
was fine. Until they stopped making the rollers. A perfectly good printer
with excellent print quality, now goes to a garage sale or something. I got
another HP laser printer that cost more, has lower print quality, and
probably won't last into next week.
Remember the old ATT 500 desk phone? Damn thing lasts forever. Intelligble
sound. Got a real bell that can be heard, instead of some stupid warbler.
That was made when you got the phone when you ordered a line. If something
was wrong with it, they sent out a guy that gave you a new one. There was a
strong motivation to get it right. Imagine if computer companies or car
companies had to replace their products when something went bad.
