Rumor has it that Douglas Quebbeman may have mentioned
these words:
I *caught* the bedsheet reference, and took it for metaphor...
metaphors be with you
-- and I said originally --
> I remember seeing greenbar, pinfed *bedsheets* a long time

If not, someone has a lot of it in stock...
I bought a brand new box of 20lb greenbar at Office Despot
in June 2001 for $38.00.
I was really talking about the bedsheets - I think they'd be a cool part of
'retro dream-computing...' and might be quite rare nowadays... I have a color lazer with serial/parallel/ethernet
ports, full Postscript 2
capability, 2G SCSI hard drive, and 112Meg RAM - I can print from most any
classic machine I have (some multiport, like my Tandy 200, can print on the
serial & parallel interfaces... ;-) so actual greenbar paper isn't ezactly
at the top of my list...
But how do you get 8.5x11 paper to fit in your DECwriter LA-120?
;)
