I was thinking your latest micro-POV experiment would make a cool retro
ASCII-art option. :)

We get them in from time to time here in NH.
I think we got rid of 2 pallets of OKIdata dot matrix printers a few months ago,
and we get various other brands in here & there.
Shipping internationally would be --- prohibitively expensive.

My first printer was OKImate (20?) with color ribbon. What a thrill to see color
printing at home, awful as it was on plain paper. Talk about going back a ways
in time, 30 years ago!
I watched the golf wall destruction over and over, and the flag not falling
shows defiance was my thought.

Colour printing, do you mean the black and red ribbons?
The machine I remember was an 80 column golf ball printer.

There is something hypnotic about watching these things. Especially in
slow motion as the frames are rendered.
The flag was the result of me increasing the weight of the flag post to
stop the flag tearing away. When the problem was in the animation
settings of the flag.

Maybe a direct hit by a golf ball would have toppled it anyhow, as opposed to
the big slow blocks pushing it around. Those were obviously the powerful force
there.

It is the mass, it is ten tons to the block's one ton and it is all on
the base. That and it can't be broken.

Shame that I will never know as I'm not on Twatter. ;-)
To be fair. Mrs Clinton is in there too. You just can't see her for very
long. So it is fair political comment that the last Presidential
election split the country and and looks to paint over the words from
Emma Lazarus's poem.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
