It’s been longer for me! ;-) But I *did* use it *a lot* when I was there. Missed using it until one of my co-workers at IBM started “playing” with an IBM 4250 electro-erosion printer (I believe it was 600dpi H and 600dpi V). It used aluminized mylar (rolls again) — hence the electro erosion. He wrote a bunch of SW for it and ran it off of his PC-AT (at the time) and could produce “camera ready” results. You could also do limited print runs (100-500 copies) directly from resultant mylar. Very cool device…not really fast though. TTFN - Guy
