#10  Dang. I used to have an old daisy wheel printer. It printed letter quality. The fonts were limited by what was on the daisy wheel and it was noisy as all get out. But no microdots. Of course, I still have my old typewriter.

g(r)om,

I'm still waiting on proof myself, but I'm actually inclined to believe it. The old Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) was remarkably good at finding people with language skills, whether they knew they had them or not. Some of the folks I sent for the DLAB had real problems speaking English, but they blew the doors off the DLAB and went on to the school (used to be in CA, not sure where it's at now.).

#4  Pretty much all laser printers and copiers print these dots and have done for several years. It's not just a government thing.

It may not be common knowledge, but anyone who reads the Technology press would know. I did.

I didn't. Do most people know this?
