Me to son around 1988 or so: "Wouldn't it be a great idea to make a

There were laser printers available in 1985 (and earlier).
Well, darn, there goes my memory again.
My son and I did have the conversation, but I obviously misremembered
when. I do recall the LaserWriter hitting the market. Thanks for the
correction.
