When I read some 80s magazines, for example about dot-matrix printers,
the ads say "Has all you'll ever need".

I mean back in 1986 to have a 24 needle printer must have been awesome
and you might have though, how could this can get any better.

Well you didn't know about laser- or ink printers back then, although
technology existed already. ;-)
