Advantages: short and handy for a dinosaur.

Disadvantages: easy to break and getting confused.

I had my first proper PC for home, games and schoolwork exactly 12 months ago. I needed all the attachments to go with it such as scanner, microphone, paper tray , oh, and a printer.

Being short on both room and money I had to get my printer from my home shopping catalogue. Okay, I knew that they were more expensive than in the shops but needs must when the devil drives!

The one that took my eye was the Olivetti JP 192.

I thought, as it was my first, (printer, I mean) that I had a pretty good buy.
But only a couple of months into the using of my new shiny printing machine it started to have teething problems!!

The ink wouldn't load properly, the form paper feed would not give me my paper, and, it decided that even though paper was put into the tray it wanted to be greedy and ask for more( stupid machine).

In the end about 2 months ago I gave up the ghost and lost my temper. It finally ended up thrown 10 feet across the living room and landed face down in my fish tank!!
Now I have an Epson 670 and it acts like a porsche.
