The Early Days



When high tech was in slow speed

The hopes and expectations for the future of digital media pushed imagination to the edges of insanity in the mid to late 1990s. For the true believers who bought in early and embraced technology with full faith the rewards would would be instant. The photo on the right side of the screen is a Microsoft Windows OS. This was round one of the digital battlefield.
It was amazing to have a system that had options beyond DOS. For the first time ever we could author documents and save data in easy to transfer 1.44mb floppy disc. This was a full tech generation before Microsoft Windows 95 would launch. We could never be sure if the data was safe on that floppy disc from beverage spills or from falling into the floor vent never to be seen again. So we printed everything and if a data disc was lost or damaged we would manually recreate it word for word. In the early days there was no real way to add photos to a word document so we would describe everything in real words with a motion picture script style clear laser focus on details. The benefit of which would not be fully realized for about 20 years. CPU was small and slow and ticking off words was not assisted by voice activated AI. We got use to hiring proof readers for everything and waiting weeks for the masters to come back to us through the traditional mail in the years before email was robust. Then we would start the process of redrafting the documents in the corrected version word by word. Connected to a 56K dial-up network that would disconnect each time the phone would ring.We had victory dances around this amazing technology that saved us so much time in contrast to the old days of quill ink well and parchment.
