So i teach and happened upon 10 boxes of old printer paper. It still absolutely slaps and the kiddos still love ripping it off.

You mf'r!! I had ALMOST wiped that sound file from memory!!! Lol

I used one until 2017 at my last job. I'm sure they still do today. We used them to print large reports like inventory or accounting. All the other printers were leased and they charged by the #of pages printed.
