Comment on A Tongue-in-Cheek Look Back at Broderbund's 'The Print Shop' (2021)

Comments

I had print shop as a 10-15 year old and made all my own and many of my families birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards with it. I was the "computer guy" in my household and was therefore entrusted with this duty. I also printed advertisements for lawn mowing services, jewelry my brother and I made and sold in consignment shops, lost dogs for neighbors, playbills, schedules, wedding invitations. All printed on a dot matrix printer.

Printshop and early computer magazines with two-three pages of examples code I would type into qbasic are the reason I'm in this career.
