As a kid we had an HP DeskJet Plus. It was built like a tank and cost close to $1000 (in 1989). It worked flawlessly for many years, and we only eventually upgraded to get color.
Part of me is nostalgic for the days when printers were built to last, but when I realize it cost the equivalent of $2000 today, I'm content with the cheap "disposable" printers they make now. $2000 would be enough for me to buy enough printers, paper, and ink to last my lifetime.
