at work today i just took our last 'parallel' printer offline.
Pretty much the last bit of 'legacy' hardware we were dealing with.
many years ago.. at least 6-7 or more, we got rid of our last serial device.
After that, we got rid of our last supported 3.5" floppy drive 2-3 ys ago.. it was a usb job anyway.. so technically it is still kicking around in a drawer.. but it has not been used in a couple years.. previous to that.. our last pc with a floppy was probably 6-7 ys ago...
For parallel ports.. as of last year, we had 3 devices.. an old PP scanner, and 2 printers still.
scanner went a year ago.. one of the other printers beginning of this year.. and as of today, right in the middle of payroll, the last parallel job went.. right in the middle of the check run too.
Our last laptop using PCMCIA cards went away 1 year ago. and we no longer even used a wired network.
end of an era.. kinda melodramatic..
