I'm in my late 40s and I remember the joy of printing out banners with Print Shop on a Commodore 64 using a dot matrix printer. It was fantastic but it's been pretty downhill since there. Video to show what I mean: https://youtu.be/BIltpheSZPs https://youtu.be/BIltpheSZPs In the modern era, I've just bought a cheap Brother black and white laser printer and called it a day.
