LGR - The 1999 Canon Inkjet Mistake (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/6aoBK-K_K-Y

YOU KNOW... sometimes, plans simply don't work out whatsoever. That's certainly been my experience lately.

For starters, I bought a 25-year-old printer and I regret everything, haha. Actually, I bought three of them in a moment of sheer delusion. Either way though, in an ideal world this was going to be a quick, fun romp into late 90s color inkjets, diving into some of my favorite printing activities when I was a youngin' with a new Windows 95 PC. In reality though, everything about this thing sucks and is awful and that should surprise no one. Least of all me but here we are 🤷‍♂️

And secondly, I was highly looking forward to attending Vintage Computer Festival East for the first time this past weekend, but a truly nasty case of norovirus/stomach flu completely sidelined that at the last minute. I spent the better part of three days existing in the bathroom deliriously nauseous (and more, ugh) and then mostly in bed for the following couple days just recuperating and attempting to stay hydrated. The only other thing I did was feed the birds outside when I could.

I finally started feeling half-normal again on Saturday, and the latter half of this video has been recorded and edited since then. Most of it was recorded a few weeks ago with the expectation of finishing it after my trip, but... yeah. All this to say that nothing worked out here.

That said, I'm finally feeling like a mostly normal human again, and am looking forward to making the next LGR episode on ANYTHING but old printers. I considered tossing this video out entirely but eh, maybe you'll enjoy the schadenfreude. Till next time, have a good week!
