Hi Andy,
its not that a rational decision with the matrix printer. I simply got a
working Oki 3320 at a computer market--used, cheap and in a decent
condition. And I also use a lot of terminal software like vim, mutt and
all. It really has something if it zips out of this screaming thing--I
missed that after decades of smoothly designed plastic mountains and
graphical desktop setups. 
My spouse will take care of the fancier things. We hooked up my former
Samsung laser printer on her Apple iSomething (Unix for Girls ;).

These Postscript printers becoming less common, me thinks ...

Cheers
