Mr. slacker.. I'm surprised to hear this coming from you. "More than
enough choice" doesn't cut it around here. It's "freedom of choice"
and if you want to use a 9-pin dot matrix printer from 1992 there had
best be some native linux drivers for it or heads are gonna roll.
Anything less is simply unacceptable. g


Linux would probably be the OS most likely to actually still have that
driver buried somewhere. Heck, there is a driver for Hercules mono
graphics in there somewhere. This is technology that's old enough to
vote! Don't anybody say that new versions of Linux forces you to
obsolete hardware!
