Boxes of 2000 fan-fold sheets that lasted ages, and because you're not
putting sheets into a tiny hopper, you weren't forever adding paper to a
printer every other day.  Likewise with ribbons that lasted for years.

I gave up on inkjet printers, long ago.  The running costs are stupid,
the disable products an environmental disaster, made all the more worse
by their short lifespan.

I'm very impressed if, these days, I receive something that's obviously
hand typed.  There's quite a bit of skill in hand typing something
without any errors.
