 There are basically two kinds of printer
worth considering these days for use with a
small home or business computer, both of
them of the impact variety, that is, those
which strike through an inked ribbon in
order to deposit the impression on the
paper. The first, and by far the most
popular, is the dot matrix variety, which is
cheaper and faster than the second type,
the formed character printer. This latter
type, characterized by its use of a
“daisywheel” arrangement, while suffering
from the disadvantages mentioned, as well
as form a lack of ability to reproduce
graphics, is the only kind so far which can
offer quick changes of type style or size and
which gives professional quality printing.

 Amber is created when the resins
produced by certain trees in tropical or
subtropical climates undergo a
transformation process that usually takes
millions of years, and which is still not fully
understood. The Baltic Sea area, now a
temperate zone, probably holds the best-
known and most highly-prized supply of
amber, which is used in jewelry. In addition,
in earlier centuries, magical properties were
attributed to amber because of the
electricity it acquires when rubbed. The
substance is also of great interest to
scientists since it has been the means of
preserving fossils, especially of insects, as
much as 40 million years old. Amber varies
greatly according to the place where it is
