Indeed. There even was a little dot matrix printer peripheral by Casio. It printed on silvery rolls of aluminium-coated paper, I think by electrically burning out dots from the coating. I did ASCII plots of function graphs on it. And some love notes to my girlfriend. Fond memories...

Also I admire the engineers having developed the firmware for these machines in the eighties under God knows what conditions. It was flawless.
