@NanoRaptor Bob was found dead in his corner cubicle in November 1983, killed by coworkers because he had the loudest dot matrix printer.

@darryl_ramm @NanoRaptor I'd like to say people would opt to dismantle the printer before killing the user, but then I'd be denying the effect constant dot matrix printing does to the human psyche.

This is, essentially why network printing was necessary: not for convenience but to distribute blame.

@NanoRaptor Today's Apple employees would kill each other to have that much personal cube space with cube walls. #OpenFloorPlansAreShitHoles

@alexr @NanoRaptor Personal cube space vs having to have a printer... seriously tough call.

@NanoRaptor cubes > open plan offices

@NanoRaptor Apple always did aim for a very specific form of imagery for their business sales messaging.
