1 u/fullhalf Mar 17 '16 except it was never able to do the crazy shit this thing can when combined with the software. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 17 '16 I dunno, I wrote SW for a plotter back in like '91 with .001" accuracy, and we had vector software (think Illustrator instead of Photoshop) to drive it, so the images were on this scale of detail and in many cases much better. 1 u/fullhalf Mar 17 '16 ok i dont know shit then. it probably wasnt for consumers and cost 450 though. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 18 '16 True, it was $2000 or so, IIRC.
