    The production and direction is perfectly nostalgic. Junts expertise makes this genuinly engaging and educational.
    This is a wonderful addition to the channel.

    This channel is seriously a wholesome, RUclips hidden gem. I do miss EJ's game of thrones reviews, though.

    Print Shop and dot matrix... I made so many "WARNING DO NOT ENTER" and "biohazard area" and "nuclear waste area" and skull and crossbones signs for my bedroom door back in the day...

    Treated myself to a new episode of Putersmith while eating my lunch today. That was worth waiting to watch!

    This brings back memories of being in the computer lab in Elementary in 90's. There was a software my computer teacher would have us create a story book and it would print out like 10 pages with our name in the story.

    I just watched nine and a half minutes of a man and a printer; and it brought back so many fond memories of the 80's at the school library printing random stuff. You magnificent bastards. Keep making the gold.

    I work in the movie and tv production in Montreal, in 2019 for the movie "My Salinger year" they asked me to operate an old dot matrix printer on the set for a scene where the main character is printing his first draft of his book, a very old compaq laptop was running with Windows 95 as a props while the dot matrix printer was connected to an off--screen modern laptop, running a USB to printer port adapter and using drivers that were made for windows 95, I haven't seen the movie yet so I don't know if the actual scene made the cut or not, like Junt we had to purchase the paper from Amazon too

    My god, I remember using Print Shop in Elementary school! School and a couple friends had Apple computers. I had an Atari 800XL in my early to mid teens. Then I finally started doing PC stuff circa 1995, ran a BBS and other fun things. Good times. :)

    Great video.
    Form feed paper is still very much in use at airports for printing things like passenger manifests, so no surprise that you can still grab it on Amazon. As for Apple II’s appearing long beyond their production in schools, the rural elementary school I attended up to 1998 still used them in the lower grades!

    Cool video. I remember using Print Shop way back in the second grade. I don't recall seeing it since.
    And that cable you have is crazy 😃. And people complain about dongles with the MacBook Pro like they are a new thing 😂.

  • @jesse9177

    Print Shop was the shit!!! I was poor so I had it on my Commodore 64. I was so jealous of my friend who had that sexy Apple IIc Plus.

    I'm really surprised those NOS colour ribbons still worked!
    Back in the day I used my ImageWriter II on my IIGS with Print Shop GS, and printed lots of colour posters, cards and envelopes.
    I hope you get that jammed ImageWriter going again

    I was on a destroyer in the Persian Gulf in 2014 and we ordered a pallet of 8.5 x 11 paper from a USNS supply ship in the area. Unfortunately we received a pallet of that form feed paper via conrep in the middle of the sea. When we got it onboard we realized it was the wrong paper so we tossed that full pallet into the sea. USNS motto - "no refunds."

    Dot matrix printers and form fed paper and print shop, all you needed to be a graphics wiz. I definitely had friends who had printed banners hanging in their rooms for far too long.

    Just received an ImageWriter II yesterday that I bought on eBay. Good shape, still works great! Just missing the rear cover though. Got plenty of vintage Macs from early to mid 90s to use it with! Can’t wait to find a color ribbon and make some banners like I did back in 6th grade! 😁

    They still make tractor-fed impact printers. Epson DFX-9000 costs $3157, is 9-pin, and can do 1500 chars/sec.

    The IIc Plus was actually 4 MHz, 4 times faster than the IIc, I can’t imagine how slow it must be on there!

      Yes, now everything is USB-C but with different capabilities depending on what each device and cable supports, and no standard way to test or visually tell what can actually do what.
