  |    |  | #1792 |   | [From the operation manual for the CI-300 Dot Matrix Line Printer, made in Japan]:
  The excellent output machine of MODEL CI-300 as extraordinary DOT MATRIX LINE PRINTER, built in two MICRO-PROCESSORs as well as EAROM, is featured by permitting wonderful co-existence such as; "high quality against low cost," "diversified functions with compact design," "flexibility in accessibleness and durability of approx. 2000,000,00 Dot/Head," "being sophisticated in mechanism but possibly agile operating under noises being extremely suppressed" etc.
  And as a matter of course, the final goal is just simply to help achieve "super shuttle diplomacy" between cool data, perhaps earned by HOST COMPUTER, and warm heart of human being.

  |    |  | #1798 |   | Giving up on assembly language was the apple in our Garden of Eden:  Languages whose use squanders machine cycles are sinful.  The LISP machine now permits LISP programmers to abandon bra and fig-leaf. 		-- Epigrams in Programming, ACM SIGPLAN Sept. 1982
