A blog about the golden age of the personal computer. Yes that would be the 1980's. The decade when in my opinion the personal computer became a common household item, even if people did not really know what to use them for.

Okidata
1980 computer advertisement for Okidata dot matrix printers
In the day, before laser printers, before color ink jets, there were dot matrix printers. They were noisy machines, which made a loud high pitched sound as the print head hammered out the characters. Dot matrix printers were also fast compared to teletype or daisy wheel printers. Okidata was one of the major printer companies back in the day.
