Yeah, convoluted and expensive. I remember when the computer you actually wanted was always $5k.

Ah, remember all of those well with the exception of the Corvus. I didn't jump on the HD wagon until the Davong which I recall was about 5Mb and about $5k.

And I just recalled a fond memory not only of serial printers in general but also the giant enclosures used for the Spinwriter in an office setting. Those were extremely LOUD suckers to be sure.
