    Just imagine trying to print sommat like that on a dot matrix.

    You'd be there for weeks.

    162 pages in graphics mode.

    Must dig out that old panasonic to give it a try.

    Then again, maybe not.

      Do it. Records the sound it makes doing it and flog it to some poncy art gallery as a "Soundscape Installation" or some such bollux.

        I think it takes about 3 or 4 minutes per page in graphics mode.

            And if you recorded all 8 hours you'll almost certainly be able to avail yourself of the Art Gallery / Museum option.

            Unless it was in one of those soundproofing cabinets you used to get. Then you'd have 8 hours of near silence; although this may get you in to Museum quicker.

                  Sadly not.

                  Since there's absoluckingfutely no one in here at the moment, I've taken advantage of the fact & removed my shoes.

                  Bliss.

                      Lizards don;t sweat so in theory his feet shouldnt smell.

                      Guess it depends on whether his skin suit can replicate perspiration accurately
