You're so dense you didn't even get the allusion to your own statement.
Besides, we aren't talking print quality here, it's
about overall performance and usability.
You're changing the subject. Print quality was very much the issue.
Instead our arguing from the air, go and read the Consumer's Report
article - 1984. Then you won't be so ignorant about the issue under
discussion.
The Coleco piece of shit was
loud as hell, and if I remember correctly it had a problem with
character alignment.
Not on mine. And it was a fine little machine.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather have 60dpi
dot-matrix output that's in nice straight lines than impact-printed
output that looks like it was printed by Gutenberg.
Well, some of my class mates in grad school, using C-64's with their
printers were told to no longer turn their papers in until they had a
type that wasn't giving the prof's eye strain. My Coleco's print was
just fine thank you.
I can't believe I have to explain to someone why the ADAM was useless.
Only on Usenet. :/
You'd have to explain it to me. I used it for two years in grad school.
It did the job for me, nicely. Of all the "home computers" only the
Atari was any better for the purpose.
