Actually it just occurred to me, with so many ways to get printed information out of a 128K Mac, that any ImageWriter is not best utilized as a printer per se. In fact, it seems the best use for an ImageWriter would be as a scanner with the ThunderScan attachment and software? No ribbons to maintain, nothing else to buy, and a lot more fun to be had with the Mac.

Anybody know whatever happened to Andy Herzfeld's idea of scanning software code from a piece of paper directly into the Mac rather than dealing with the physical medium of a floppy disk? That would be great, sort of an early version of text recognition software ...
