Considering my in-law's were still on dialup until about a year or so
ago....  Even their DSL only pulls 5-700k...!  Although at this point you'd
be hard pressed to find a PC let alone a laptop with an RS-232 port it
seems.

There's always a niche for something.  I'd almost completely forgotten about
dot matrix printers until I just bought a new car.  The dealer still printed
paperwork on a dot matrix printer since the impact is needed for the
duplicate forms they use.
