A dodo was a large, flightless bird, roughtly the size of a goose,
that lived on the island of Mauritius. The dodo became extinct in
the late 1600s. Rumor has it that the statement that was made when
the dodo became extinct was "It tastes like chicken.".

As for the availability of plotters, a guy gave me two HP plotters
at a hamfest last year. So, there are some of them out there, but
they appear to be undervalued.
