    It will be there forever since it got stuck as a “offline” button. People go offline for many reasons and they look for a “plane” icon.

    Since when did you see/use a diskette or a dot matrix printer? You use their icons.

      To be fair, printers today come in all shapes and sizes and don’t necessarily look that different from the icons I see.
