Yes, I remember those printers. It wasn't just that they could print a line at a time. heck, laser printers print a page at a time. It was the speed. Print a large file and the paper few out into the air. That wasn't a printer it was a mortar. You didn't want to be standing there looking in when it started. Paper can cut; at that speed it would cut seriously! "Off with his head!"
