    My first thought (from just seeing the headline in the Lemmy list) was ‘hey wait a minute, that’s now new, they even did that back in the 80s’ quickly followed by ‘and that was called Thunderscan, too’ - because that’s the one that this is about. 😅 BTW that site is chock full of neat inside stories.

    I had a number of posters on my wall that I’d printed out on our ImageWriter II*, Escher’s waterfall, some attack helicopter, and a few others I am struggling to recall.

    * The ImageWriter II, as well as the Mac SE, will for me always be the pinnacle of (80s) industrial design. ❤️
