It was a sad day today.  Our beloved Sophie the solid wax printer gave up her good fight.  She had been ill for quite some time, suffering from internal bleeding (magenta ink was leaking), and just not acting like herself.

This morning she was really bad.  Her internal bleeding has caused a large mass to form.  The extra wax was removed, but she refused to accept her upper paper tray.  Further inspection showed that she had a part that broke off which would not be mended (heck, we're not even sure where it came from).

We had to remove her from life support at about 9am this morning.  It's a sad day indeed.

RIP dear friend..... And, don't get too mad that we already had replaced you.......
