Amen to that, brother!

Spent many hours with that printer during my college years
and absolutely loved that printer. Whoever designed it
should be given a special award for engineering excellence.

My favorite, non technical feature:

The buttons were removable so we always tricked new student
operators by re-arranging the buttons just before having them
work with the printer for their first time :-)
