SMB Partner - Channel Insider
Empowering the next generation Channel

Remember when mobile phones were too big to fit in your pocket, and you had to pull up the antenna to get a signal? What about that daisy wheel printer, or that DEC Rainbow that could boot in multiple OSes including DOS. It's all at the D&H Distributing technology museum in the lobby of the company's headquarters in Harrisburg, Pa. But no need to drop what you are doing right now. Channel Insider will take you on a quick tour through technology then and now.

THEN: Hewlett-Packard 9871A Daisy-Wheel Impact Printer

The 9871A was a wide-carriage, full-character daisy-wheel printer with a lightning-fast print speed of 30 characters per second. It was designed for use with the 98X5 Series of computer/calculators. The 9871A used the IBM Selectric print mechanism and also had (excruciatingly slow) graphics-printing capability and an optional tractor feeder.
