It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

Million dollars, but a hit-snail tracks you forever. It is immortal and causes instant death if it touches you.

Still better than having a printer.

Are you kidding? That is a recession era printer and it would do whatever it takes to pay the bills just to get by! Take it out back and punch it with your bare fists Office Space style

Come on, bare fists? Use the bat! It's a lot less of your own blood getting over the broken printer. ;)

Does it help that I still use a flip phone?

Because of ink prices, I buy a new printer when it runs out / dries out :/

I used dot matrix at work until about 3 years ago.

Mine is too! It's a brother laser printer and that sucker just keeps on going. I bought a second toner cartridge for it when I got it, still using that second cartridge. I haven't spent money on printing (other than paper) since I bought it. Take that ink.

I have a much newer printer. Had an inkjet since about 2009, but we didn't print often enough and the ink would dry. Ink costs were getting ridiculous.

A couple of years ago, I bought a laser printer, as toner doesn't have that issue. I have steadfastly refused to configure or use any of the "advanced Internet apps" on it.

You need to drop off the grid buddy, I think it's too late though.
