I work in the NHS and we still use dot matrix. As do many banks. They have specific uses and are still manufactured, astonishingly. Utter bitch to configure with W10 of course.

Don't forget CRT monitors generally

Continuous printer paper that zig-zags out of the box, with holes up the edges for pulling it through the printer. Then afterwards tearing the edges off and separating the pages.

I've still got a box full of it in the garage."
