Man what a bunch of newbies, I have owned a computer since 1980. Thats over 20yrs. First one was an Apple II+ 48K onboard ram and a single 146Kfloppy. for $2000 I got that and a Epson MX70 printer. 8pin print head, No true decenders, that means no character, specifically lower case p,q,y,g, went below the line. There was one dot difference between a lower case g and a s. Made for some interesting printouts, definately not resume quality!
