[GreenKeys] The Roneo effect

[Martin]

Is is important for social record to note that in the UK this was a 
Roneo machine, used for every handout. And the first thing every single 
one of us would do in the first few seconds before even considering to 
read it, was to sniff it hard! This went on for at least most of my 
school life, just before the photocopier became common. Even some of 
those early photocopy machines used very questionable chemicals, before 
the modern electrostatic process was used.

I didn't develop any alcohol dependencies as the result.
