Didn't Oki (IIRC) market a printer that used a ball-point-pen like stylus
to print? I seem to remember that one could even tell it to put a little
random jiggle into the process to simulate human handwriting.
Does anyone own a Datagraphics printer or plotter that uses a CRT and
photographic paper? That must hold the record for the highest
cost-per-sheet of printing...
