It sure says something that my MP 130 still works fine today 6(7) years
after production. On a like note I bought a Kapro 2X in 1984 ("I know it's a
portable because it has a handle on the back" with a steel case and weighed
a modest 30+ pounds) with a Juki daisywheel printer. I was still using it in
1994 and had never had a problem with it, not even a crash. Don't even think
I ever had to soft or hard reboot (It had a little red button for
rebooting). That's what I call built to last.
