Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for August 30, 2023

A genuine duplicating machine… didn’t sell as many units as the manufacturer had hoped. OTH, the person who replaced the paper with $20 bills did okay for a while

That’s one that Xerox will never build.

I used to pickup and deliver heat treated parts to the large Xerox complex in Webster, NY.

They also print their own ‘Out of Order’ signs!

Way back in the day (circa 1965) my wife’s office computer broke down. When the repairman couldn’t come soon enough, she fixed it (consider the times). Now all of them are connected to some service company in Pakistan. And they still break down. Too bad I can’t find a sarcasm emoji.

Used to be a Xerox contractor in the Canadian Arctic, nice machines, hated the collator. Got training trips full expense half way across the country

Parts, not so much, considering the distance

We had one airfreighted to a remote community by Twin Otter. Didn’t want to use fork lift (narrow door) so they tried to get some sturdy chaps to lift it out. The back ordered toner arrived with the replacement

Not that button, Jay! Have you never watched The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?

That’s the same model they have on board the ISS.

for my next trick…

I needed to secure a new copier with collator in a hospital right after Calif. implemented new seismic regulations. I got the plans to secure that model to the deck on US Navy vessels; plans were approved and we set about bolting the copier to the concrete floor slab. I don’t remember the weight but it wasn’t trivial.
