Well, err... I think you should release it yourself, because I have
switched off my faithful Atari STF yesterday, for the last time (after
nine years). Now it's entirely packed, and its SIMMs have been removed.
I'm now using linux on a peecee (yes, I'm a traitor).

This could be useful if you switch the printer off and on again -- then
printing will resume, although you can't guarantee that no characters
will be lost :-) But can you think of other situations where this sanity
is required?
