From high school and even into college, one of the most comforting sounds was the screeching sound of my Apple Imagewriter II printer. From the long, soothing startup sound to the quick, jerky, almost giddy sound it made to indicate it was ready - the sounds emitted by the printer were probably the most comforting sounds I heard all through my education. Probably because it meant that I was done with writing a paper.
A new study shows that laser printers can emit microscopic toner particles during printing that are small enough to get into the lungs and cause as much damage as smoking. BS? You decide.

Who would've thought? Guess we will soon see the dawn of the "printing room" in the work place for that percentage of the population that insists on printing. :-) Martin.
