Hello!
How much older do you want Ron? I've been programming, and building
computer related hardware for the past twenty or so years. (Apple 2+
and Apple 2e, and then the PC. Probably the only individual left who
can tell you why an annoyed Apple beeps and displays his registers
when angry.)

I also did publishing, actually phototypesetting before Apple landed
and became the default settings for good output. (In fact I was a part
of the process that decided that postscript should be the default page
description language.)

I should also mention that this discussion is rapidly becoming the
typical NYLUG discussion, we should agree to disagree and resume it in
person later this month.
