stuff. They were well made back then. I haven't used one in a long while |
| 19 |
but it sounds like they still make good stuff. I always liked that they had |
| 20 |
metal gears and stuff when everyone else had went to plastic. Epsons were |
| 21 |
good at going with plastic, even on their higher end stuff. They would |
| 22 |
strip out regular too. Get a good paper jam, you need a set of gears. |

Although some metal gears have given way to plastic stuffs, I can still |
| 30 |
vouch for their reliability. My office had one, and it's generally abused, |
| 31 |
yet it still chugs along merrily. |

Truly gave my boss a mid-life crisis: He's a champion of a two-letter brand, |
| 34 |
and his worldview came crashing to the ground when the Brother proved itself |
| 35 |
to be more reliable than his preferred brand ;-) |
