And I Thought it was a Remarkable Breakthrough

Potsy the Self-Printing Printer

Okay, I'm not feeling too well this morning, but on the BBC News website I was sure it said "Printer Creates Replacement Cartridge."

Now wouldn't that have been truly amazing? Almost like a printer "giving birth" to a baby printer. And why not? A machine actually propagating. Who would have thought of a printer that prints printer cartridges? THAT would have made headlines across the globe, now, don't you think?

I suppose if you have a printer printing diagrams upon how to build itself that would be close . . . but what about about a printer actually printing other printers that could print printers?

Then you'd truly have a machine race. Each individual's only function would be to print a copy of itself. And I guess if it printed two copies you'd be forced to call them twins.

I want one.
