A quote written in a dark blue from Diamine.
(Sorry, this came in a cartridge with a pen so not exactly sure what blue it is.)

It is from Crimson Shore by Preston & Child and made me laugh.
If you have ever had to use a microfiche machine, you know it's true.

"Two hours later, Constance sat back in her chair, blinking. The microfiche machine was a wonder of hideous 1980s technology, seemingly designed to cause blindness through prolonged use."

It would have been nice if you could have had a small phone with a camera to take a picture of the screen, send it to Google Lens, and have it translated, ...but that wasn't the case.
I used one of those machines back in the '80s. After that, FEDLOG became a set of CDs that you read on a PC system with multiple drives. Don't I look old? I am!

@rpla I knew I was old the first time I was in a library & got asked to help someone with a turntable.
