3 Tragic Demises

My EPSON LQ-550

First of all I'd like to offer my condolences to the Epson family of printers for the demise of my LQ-550. It had been a faithful printer.
About my EPSON-550:-

This model of EPSON 550 was bought in December 1991 along with a 386 machine with something called an IO card in it back in the days when PC's used to have a Turbo button which worked.

It was not an ordinary 9 dot matrix, it was a 24 dot matrix with advanced graphics support. It was not as fast as one of em daisy chains or line printers but it was a lot better. Color printing was not an option back then and you had weird dot matrixes that could print in 2 or 3 colors but none of them beat my LQ-550 which rendered a good 15 years of service after which it was put into a box never to be seen again until today.

Upon plugging in the device its soul made a final shreiking static noise and now its dead.

I hope my LQ-550 rests in Peace.

Battle Star Galactica:-

This one happened some time back but I just realised it. BSG is finally over I'll have to find some other series. I'm too upset about the first loss I wont write much here.

Anyways there is going to be another series about the battle star Pegasus and what happened to it between the invasion of New Caprica and its reunion with Galactica.

I actually started watching this show when Whiz told me that Cmdr Adama looked like Gen Pervez Musharraf that got me on one episode and then I watched every episode till the end. BTW near the end they show Adama with a moustache then he looks like Musharraf for sure.

Prison Break

This is also over and this time for good. But they still left room for more seasons I think.

ohhh dont worry..... that printer lived a long and happy life in printer years..... one printer year is equivalent to 4 human years...... I know that LQ550 wanted for u to move on... live life to the fullest for LQ550........ I would like to say a few final words about LQ505...... even though i never meet LQ550 i always heard good things about him, he must be in some hardware heaven looking down on us... playing with the other printers... clicking clacking around.... drinking from the cool fountains of dark black ink.... may god bless his soul/circuit
