[Hidden-tech] Identity of Font

[Michael Muller]

Wow, that's a blast from the past. In 1991 a co-worker of my dad called 
and said their office was getting rid of a laserjet printer and asked if 
I wanted it. I said sure, thinking it was a typical table-top printer. 
When I got home from work there was this massive, double-wide, blue 
metal monstrosity in my driveway about the size of a VW bug. The printer 
part was built into a desk with the tiny monitor and everything. No 
wheels. I have a photo of it somewhere. We kept it in the garage for a 
couple weeks until we realized we didn't have the toner nor the manual, 
so we rolled it out to the curb and took a sawz-all to it. Was most 
satisfying.
