70's and 80's here. Big fast printers. I know, who does massive code listings or memory dumps anymore? I feel that if I had one, I'd be using it all of the time, though.
- s3graham 7y agoI did not expect this one! How fast was "fast"? 55ppm seems... reasonable? for ~$1000 CAD https://store.hp.com/CanadaStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=K0Q15A&opt=BGJ&sel=PRN https://store.hp.com/CanadaStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=K0Q15...
- gHosts 7y agoDid a course on a new fangled laser printer that printed _all _ the payslips for _all_ government employees of the time/place. It took a fair number of pages to get up to speed and a largish chunk of a box of paper just to stop. Postcript? Ha. You're joking.
- DrScump 7y agomassive code listings or memory dumps anymore? When I started in mainframe programming, our organization had a license for a core dump formatting package that would do a lot of cross referencing for you and even break down COBOL into assembler on a line by line basis for you. Well thought out little things like that made a big difference.
