the stories are amusing me though... i would have had to find other ways to waste time before going to the printer, since i don't shave. perhaps two sidewalk chalk drawings ? or just one really big one ? a reproduction of the ceiling of the sistine chapel perhaps ? (not complex enough ?)

You could submit a job that would print out a copy of the
Mona Lisa.
I have a lucite cube with 81 bits of ferrite core memory embedded in it as a memento of those days. The amazing thing was how much got done with so little processing power. We throw away more processing power (like into the trash) each day today than the world
had in 1975. Possibly even in 1980. Sad.
