Its definately changed eh Warren? I started my time in 86 on an old compugraphic typesetting system....then PCs were invented about the same time and as I was the apprentice I was sent off to learn this new fangled computer system. I can still remember the day I drew a box on the screen instead of using commands!

Sold my recycling business in Brisbane 6 months ago & now taking life pretty easy - Currently buying scrap metal from the around the world & selling principally to China... Spend approx 4 months a year travelling overseas working/playing hard... Always good to get home to a well stocked ale fridge... :D

UPDATE,

No longer taking life easy - Now I'm selling brewing supplies through CraftBrewer. Took on the big boys against all odds in Scrap & became the No.! independant in Qld, but it's got nothing on the Homebrew Industry for being a closed shop - The battle continues :) ...

Cheers Ross...

Gidday Warren & Steve. Very small world indeed. I started work in the printing industry as a photolithographer a bit before you guys - well actually, quite a bit before on second thoughts. 1959 in fact and saw the tail end of hot type (lino and handset), litho stones, and the old style English colour presses. But I also saw the introduction of the latest in graphics evolve from gallery camera colour separation to the first of the scanners. Also saw the first German 2 and 4 colour MAN and Roland colour presses introduced. I moved on into the printed circuit industry utilising the same graphics principals, plotters and scanners and photo repro methods.

These days I still do all our flyers and POS material using the Adobe suites. We occasionally go direct digital to plate but more recently have put in a 4 colour laser printer. Amazing that after all these years I am still working with images and colour - but on the screen, not on film!
