Today I was delighted by a photocopier
20 Jun 2006
That’s right folks, read it again — I was delighted by a photocopier.
Just had to make 5 copies of a 5 sheet document, and I put them into the feed place in the copier. The machine swished them all through really quickly, and then printed out the pages in the right order. Then, in a stroke of brilliance, it stacked each set at right angles!
I was actually delighted to see technology working like that! I felt like an old person who’s just seen the speed of email or something.
It was an awakening.
Wait, wait, did you get it to staple them for you as well? That’s the coolest.
Photocopiers really have come on in the last few years, haven’t they. Gone are the days of promised functions actually being unavailable because “don’t press that button or it will chew your paper up”. At least, as long as they are well maintained…

Yes, well it’s all fun and games, isn’t it, until someone loses a nipple and…er…never mind.
Where am I?
