## The story

You could hear the Zippertooth from the driveway. It printed one line at a time with a ripping zzzt that rattled the house, pulling a long accordion of paper through its teeth. The best part was tearing off the perforated strips with holes along the edges and twisting them into bracelets, springs and paper snakes.

## Fun fact

A banner program let you print a birthday sign forty feet long, and every family used it exactly once.
