Great documentary: The Last Day of Hot Metal Typesetting at the New York Times
#10
I learned how to type on those linotype machines in in the early 1960's... screwed me royally when trying to re-learn how to type on a qwerty typewriter. Hometown buddy and I had a pretty good printing biz thru HS and part of college, until real life started kicking in. Typing/computing gave me fits until my neuro crud got so bad it didn't matter anymore, anyway, anyhow. Been huntin' and peckin' as the body allows ever since, and rely on speech to text for anything lengthy, so all I have to do is some editing. Those old school printing pieces always bring the memories flooding back.
