I'm not Richard.  Besides, we aren't talking print quality here, it's
about overall performance and usability.  The Coleco piece of shit was
loud as hell, and if I remember correctly it had a problem with
character alignment.  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.

I can't believe I have to explain to someone why the ADAM was useless. 
Only on Usenet. :/
