| The all-enclosed invoice with the tractor fed paper was pretty costly

| impact printer, that'll print clearly through all the copies
| anymore..... for a reasonable price... that is. I had a Toshiba pin
| printer that I think would have printed through a piece of cardboard.
| Printer cost $2000.00 back in the 80's. It was 130 column wide. Just

| print head, anymore. In all that time, the only thing to fail on it =
was
| the print head ...... once in the 90's. By the time it went again, =
they
| didn't make parts for it anymore. Thing weighed about 40 pounds.
| Shoulda bought a spare print head for it, I guess.

| Anyway, the all enclosed invoice got too expensive, so that's when I
| went to ink jet, which didn't work for me. Then back to the impact
| printer with double window envelopes. Now, laser with double window
| envelopes........ which is more expensive than the impact printer what
| with toner supplies, paper and all. Impact printer had real =
inexpensive
| ribbon and inexpensive tractor feed paper.

| I put it out on top of the garbage can by the curb for pick up and
| couldn't keep my self from watching them "just throw it in the back of
| their damn ol truck, like a piece of garbage"   "Sniff sniff" I though
| maybe they'd just sort of, kind of ... ya know ... "place" it .......
| Ya know what I mean?   But they just THREW IT!  "Sniff" Every once in =
a
| while, I come across an old ribbon cartridge or a piece of the edging
| from the tractor feed paper  an ...... an ..... SNIFF ......
|=20
| OHHHHH God! I'LL JUST NEVER FORGIVE THEM!
|=20
| ....JUST LEAVE ME ALONE .......I DONT WANNA TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!
