Music Played By IBM Line Printer
By Bill Jelen
We still use one of these old line printers. By any wild chance does
anyone happen to have one of these musical print files? I'd love to
try it out. Better yet: George Bogatko -- perhaps Inlux Editions could
start offering Line Printer arrangements!

[ I heard that some joker put a print file in the hopper which
[ contained the image of the print chain. When _all_ the hammers
[ struck the chain at the same instant it dislodged from its drive
[ wheels and flew through the plastic window of the machine. The
[ repairman muttered, "I've seen this problem before. Wonder what
[ causes it?" Even then there were "viruses" running around to wreck
[ havoc upon the unsuspecting. -- Robbie
