Yes, I've seen it, had to watch the whole thing, it is so fascinating.
If I ever decide to invest in such a machine, it'll be an expensive
one that allows me to digitize my own graphics (not just ready-made
sets), preferably as vectors. In which case doing *that* isn't so much
of a challenge any more.
I've coveted one of those for a while, but currently cannot justifty
getting one, neither for fun nor for my tiny craft business as that
one is concentrated on the pre-steam era. However, I'm planning to use
MetaPost to create blackwork charts, I've got the feeling that it'll
give me neater results than any existing software. And I won't be
stuck with one OS, either. :-)
