        Thank you for this, @BeschlossDC. Brings back many memories of long hours making copies at my dad's business on this VERY SLOW b/w machine!

        Xerox let Steve Jobs run away with their computer technology ....thought they were a copier company. Myopic. Barely still in business

        Strange that all these years later photocopiers are still as bulky and boxy...

        At the time, it was easier than hiring typists. But it also made junk mail easier to produce. robo-mails of yesterday robo-calls of today
