We unearthed a bunch of old install discs at work and that's actually something we walked about doing! Might be cool.

I would keep the CS2 box and maybe the Pub2ID and Q2ID in case you need to kick the Adobe ransomeware into touch.
Some collectors might like some of it - those that are resurrecting older machines. Probably will cost more in shipping than what you'd get for it.
Those mice could hang nicely from a Christmas tree.
I found this the other day in an old desk. Maybe we could build a retro print shop lol
I've got a couple of working Apple G4s at home to get it started. They'll take your SCSI.
I stared at this for a few seconds... Toast?... Toast? : huh :
I used "TOAST" when I first got to the US ... it almost makes me miss the stench of my workspace with the platemaker and all those jugs of replenisher.
:shoots_self:
Don't forget the smell of old burnt was from the waxer. There were always drips on the outside that cooked forever.
Ahhhhhh Toast.....I hated burning CD's. I made more coasters than CD's I think.
The outdated nature of the print industry STILL irks me, and the chincey @&#^$rs who run it.
"We don't want to pay for HD TAPES, to back-up our outdated SERVER, running the outdated SOFTWARE and system"
... "Oh here's a better (bigger) option, it will be $600+ cheaper and more efficient, but you'll have to upgrade the USB hardware as USB 1.0 won't cut it"
"That will cost us $80 ... where are we getting that from now? (mumble, grumble, incoherent bitchin)"
speaking of old stuff...
got this today, need to scan and output film for silkscreening
:facepalm:
If they used a waxer, they sure didn't burnish the edges down well. That comma on a separate piece of paper is really scary.
yeah, they shoulda washed their hands, cleaned off the paper, and used clean wax.
took 30 minutes in photoshop to get rid of the cut paper edges and darken up the light black type.
:shoots_self:
Geeze....flashback time. Be sure to bill them extra for "vintage" prepress.
If someone pulls out a jar of opaque I'm leaving.
Well? :rotf:
DOOR SLAMS SHUT!!!!!!!!!!11
man that take me back...
'cept it's black opaque...
if you want old school, it has to be the red mud opaque.
Nice touch with the brush as well!
:drunk3:
yikes... all those years of touching up film... all those times i almost fell asleep on the light table...
those times hiding in the camera dark rooms and playing cards in the red light with the other apprentices.
i actually still remember it fondly

Ahhhhh....working 3rd shift in the dark room. Done that for far too many years.
I liked the red opaque. That black stuff, at least what we switched to for a while, smelled like ammonia. Yuck.
When we had a darkroom with a small revolving door, I snuck in there one time when the boss was looking for me and kept all the lights off. He came in there, saw it was dark, and left. I wasn't a foot away from him. :lmao:

Ghost train moment.
We only had brown opaque, and when the ruby pens came along.....that was the cat's pyjamas!

It's actually the red mud, just lighting/selfie camera made it look black. :afro:
Yes, red mud may be more like it, I remembered brown but it was kinda reddish mud like.
exactly, like dried blood color, right DCS?
D who?

Blood isn't really red. It's the iron in your blood that oxides when it's outside the body, which gives it that rust color.

I used to believe that too...
Is blood actually blue? (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321442)
QuoteIt is a common myth that veins are blue because they carry deoxygenated blood. Blood in the human body is red regardless of how oxygen-rich it is, but the shade of red may vary.
Nerd.
- Blood is red unless your grandma is Q Elizabeth or that blonde Lanister who was doing her brother. -
We called that brown stuff here ''apdec'' or ''updec'', never seen a black one.
( never seen that written either, it was always in a chopped water bottle, and i was pretty sure it was self reproducting at nights like a fungus or something ).

Horseshoe crab blood is blood.

in that it doesn't clot. just ask Tsar Nicholas, or any of Queen Victoria's descendants. Which rises the question: if you're a woman, and a hemophiliac, what happens during your monthlies?
It's very rare for females to actually have the condition. Mostly they are just carriers and pass it on to their sons.
