I remember when all we had were dot matrix printers (and clicky keyboards), and i know it may seem odd, but i bloody love that noise they make! Now i am also a fan of the quality of my laser printer, so a comprimise would be to reproduce the look and sound of a dot matrix printer, with the internal workings of a laser printer.

Compared to laser and ink-jet printers, dot-matrix printers are notorious for making a racket." [MikeOliver, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] No, the make that scratchy noise when they print... I can't really convey the sound in text... someone help me out?
(edit). That last anno threw me a little curry, and i started to doubt myself. Have reached the conclusion, either you are taking the piss, or you need to get your laser printer fixed!-- MikeOliver, Apr 01 2004 Grit your teeth. It's April 1.-- mackerm, Apr 01 2004 I thought april fools ran till 12 noon?-- MikeOliver, Apr 01 2004 But in what time zone? This is the internet or the WORLD wide web, if a time standard is needed i vote GMT-- engineer1, Apr 02 2004 Yeah, i agree GMT, in which case that april fool was posted at approx 1730 GMT, thus invalidating it *feeling of foolishness lifted* :)-- MikeOliver, Apr 02 2004 random, halfbakery
