[deleted stuff about using WD40 to extend Dot Matrix ribbon life]

Had a doggy IBM Proprinter with very sticky pins, output look awful.
Then WD40'd the print head a couple of times (got a few messy pages)
but eventually the output looked as good as the machine was capable
of (which isn't much but it was then useable).
