An Old Printer Looks Back--Waldman

Another new year and, at my age, I feel the need to look back and reflect on an event and some people that shaped my business life and the printing industry.

In retrospect, I would have to say that the single most important event in the printing industry during my business career occurred more than 20 years ago. Often overlooked, the introduction of the Apple Macintosh personal computer and the Apple LaserWriter, along with Adobe PostScript and Aldus (later Adobe) PageMaker software, in my judgment, began the march to what was to become a revolutionary change in printing and publishing.
