A Very Old Newbie

[Syllables]

In 1972, I was an independent computer systems consultant. I was hired by a printing and publishing company to move them out of the hot type world into "something computerized." After completing my contract and moving on to other things, they went bankrupt. I bought their equipment and customers and became a trade typesetter overnight. It kinda gets into your blood.

I officially retired from all that in 1992, but keep my fingers dirty for several small publishers, manage and host about 85 Web domains, and generally have a good time.

We're primarily an InDesign shop. Serve the local fine art and upscale printing needs with an Epson r1800 and an HP b9180 . Also do large poster work on our HP designjet 130nr (and a 26-inch laminator to go with it). A Xerox Phaser 860 does the work horse stuff.

That's the nutshell version.

That's the nutshell version.My word, you’ve been around even longer than I have! :)

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

I graduated from High School in Lyons, NY, up in the Finger Lakes region, in 1942! Is that << Way out in the country in Upstate New York State >> enough? <g>

And, loved every minute of it. BTW: the printing and publishing company I spoke of was in Stonington, CT.

Thanks for the welcome.

That's way more Upstate than our location--South Hartwick, population roughly 15 (prople that is; sheep and other critters would raise that to 400-500).

Not that much <g>

I guess the closest I've been to there is driving from Lyons via Syracuse to Philadelphia - a beautiful drive indeed.
