I'm sorry if you're of the generation that's never used a dot-matrix printer. I still remember mine from the 80s and 90s, and they were dope AF:

- Made cool sounds when printing

- Paper as a perforated form-feed, and tearing the perforations after printing was *so* satisfying

- You could re-ink your own ribbons with whatever ink you had at hand

- Manufacturer wasn't trying to screw you at every possible term

- Software focused on birthdays cards and banners, not "business" or "out of cyan"
