I had a gorilla banana. That's the printer I used to print out the source code to DCom. It worked very well for a dot-matrix printer. I bookmarked the page so I can show it to people who disbelieve. LOL

Bruce,

Boy did this message bring back an old memory!  I remember those DAK  
catalogs and especially the Gorilla Banana printer that a friend of  
mine bought.  I found a link to the ad for the printer here:

Good stuff, good memories, good times!
