Sadly you are missing three important features in your emulation. First
the noise and the second associated motion of the carriage as the
printer did its thing. (The movement of the 'ball' (cylinder on a TTY)
was magical and made it quite set of sounds you will never forget -
often duplicated in the movies). But the hardest thing to simulate is
the distinct smell of light machine oil that all terminal rooms had.
Isn't this easy? Just use a spritzer of it around your PC.
