You are a very silly man and silliness should not be catered for.

Your terminal can wrap text around just fine. If it can't, ask for refund.

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoIn college we used to print out "one-page" ASCII art on the LPs. Naturally, it could get rather risqué. But I would just stare into them, marveling at the ingenuity. Of course I'd already been into it awhile, thanks to C64 Print Shop. Also my father produced tonnes of scratch paper in narrow strips. I found a way to weave them into a perpetually-growing "tractor-feed snake" which I placed in a padded crib and brought to grade school to show off. I would typically juggle a few bits and bobs to attract even more attention...
- ykonstant 3y agoGot any links? You know, to revel in the ingenuity.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoSure, what is the standard URI format for a really long piece of tractor feed paper? I'm sure you could dig around into my hometown's landfill for awhile. They're only 30 years sediment. I'll send you a tarp, shovel, duct tape to stick the pages back together, and my sister's old clothes to wear while you work. DM for deets.
- an-unknown 3y agoActually the ADM-3A automatically wraps overflowing text similar to what you would expect from a terminal unless you disable the "Auto NL" switch and it is 80x24 characters unless you got the basic 80x12 variant without the "24 lines" option.
