2008-02-28 08:02:19 Not obsolete! Many business still use dot-matrix printer and paper supplier still sell fan-fold perforated paper. It may be obsolete in "mainframe" printers (IBM, Univac, DEC), but is well and seling OKI printers. —198.54.202.182
Obsolete does not mean non-existant. It means something that was the standard (in this case, a skill known to all office workers) that is now not the standard or rare (tractor feed printers are no longer the absolute standard they once were, and young office workers may have never even seen one). If you believe that the standards for the wiki in general should be more limited, feel free to discuss it at What is obsolete. Of course, since reenactment and survival enthusiasts use virtually all past tools and skills, nothing is obsolete if use is the criteria.
