>> How many people today even know what a daisywheel printer is?

My final project in our Computer Graphics class (1978) was software
to make our Diablo daisywheel into a general purpose graphics
output device, using "." (or your choice of character) and the
micro-stepping multi-direction capability of the printer.  (Lines
and such would be plotted in real time; not a "dump data to a buffe
and then print in a boring fashion.)  It was rather fun to watch,
and educational in its way, but rather hampered by the difference
in vertical and horizontal resolution.
