I noticed some of the content on the page identified this as an amazing technological advance. Reality has caught up with the dream of the printing terminal... like the fabled IBM 2741, or the Model 19 teletypewriter (which had type bars like a real typewriter), or the DECwriter - that we used to read about in science-fiction stories.

Oh, wait... they were real.

I would like to see that thing pushed to it's mechanical limit.
