I love today’s QOTD. Reminds me how old I am, even though I still wear high-top sneakers.

I remember having a dot-matrix my first year in college. On the rare occasion that I had access to a laser printer, it was like Christmas to the hundredth power: The speed! The crisply printed prose! No tear-off track holes!

Thanks again.
