Check out this site which I found through
slashdot.org. An interesting use
of those old beasts as musical instruments.

And I thought using printers for music went out with the old line printers
of the (50's? and ) 60's! :-)
Incidently, they are looking for printers. I quote from their web page:
"If you happen to have another Epson TX-80B "Essna", a Citizen
"Swift", or
an Apple StyleWriter 1200 - we want it."

(You could get a tax deduction for donating a "musical instrument"! ;-)
