By the time I was in high school dittos were a distant
memory. To put it
in (classiccmp) perspective, by that time inkjets were still on the
horizon and dot matrix printers were still the shit.
Of what time you are talking ? In 1979 I had to do some
maintenance for ink jet printers - 4 weeks in a small
room between spare parts and nothing else to do but
adjustind ink timing and cleaning these bloody heads.
Ink jet was in fact already in wide use at this time -
for example all teminal systems in the tax office here
in Munich where equipped with ink jet printers as hard
copy/form printing devices.
