I don't think I ever had to deal with a daisy-wheel.
But I'm now remembering sprocket-feeds, and tearing off the edges with the holes in, and how the A4 version of sprocket-feed paper would never come out quite even because the page wasn't a whole number of sprocket-holes long. (I got through a ream of the stuff in drafts of my thesis, though the final version was on loose paper.)
I still miss the wide green-and-white line-printer paper, though. There's nothing like it for doing rough algebra.
Mission Statement
Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
