Ta. About right. That was my grand 'mature days'.
Oki closed Glasgow manufacturing,
My rumour factory remembers a bit of an argument about 'laser'. They
could not comply with HMG procurement who specify "Laser printer" They
use LEDs and Gov procurement could not authorise any except 'laser
printers'. I have found them very dependable versus HP (Have junked two
HPs in my time)
HMG procurement staff seem sometimes a bit of technical incompetents.
