Are you implying usage of paper is saddening?

I don't think we'll ever get rid of that but I am sure we can achieve sustainability with paper usage.

This is what I've been thinking ever since I bought my first printer in 1988.

I fondly remember the noise my 4201 [1] made as it's 9 pins flew across the form-feed paper at nearly 200 characters per second, in draft mode!

I actually really like them. At least for when i need one and i don't have it setup, or whatever.

Though really i can't believe it hasn't improved drastically.

I don't think so. There will always be a place for physical media.

i haven't needed to own a printer for decades. the rare cases where i did need a printer, i could go to a printshop. happens once a year at the most.
