📎 AI Summary:
The thread humorously discusses a fictional prototype of a new Microsoft printing press that is inefficient and inconvenient, featuring fixed font choices, ink smearing, and higher ink costs, while also increasing printed material costs. The original poster criticizes these features with satire, suggesting reading is becoming outdated. Respondents play along with the joke, referencing Wingdings font familiarity and noting its impracticality, creating a lighthearted exchange about digital and print limitations.

I just saw a prototype of a new printing press Microsoft is working on. A few notable features include...

1. You can't change the font (hope you like Wing-Dings).

2. It smears the ink on every other page, meaning...

3. It requires 3x more ink than the "Old Fashioned" kind.


The good news is that this "New & Improved" press will quadruple the cost of all printed material.

Don't be a Luddite... reading's over-rated anyway.

You mean to tell me you can't read Wingdings? It's 2013. ;)

Only joking around. I've honestly yet to find a situation even when using Photoshop where Wingdings is remotely useful.
