<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David, I meant that comment to be
'tongue-in-cheek'. I, too, owe the old days for supporting my family
in a better style than my father before me. Since </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>I started with the razor-blade (oh, yes - I remember the
iron oxide Freon developing solution!) the industry has advanced to a point that
makes the old ways almost laughable to all who did not experience it. I
guess I represent the small minority of the old quad guys who didn't come out of
the Burbank, Denver or New York world. I spent all my time in the 2nd
and 3rd place markets, and government, private and corporate production
facilities. I wonder how many of the readers of this group lived in the
no-budget world? Maintaining the old hardware wasn't hard - doing it with
no money or support was!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally, I'm proud to be an old-quad-guy and
part of the old-ways!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So - back to the question - anybody remember
working with / on one of the original TEPs? Stories? Pictures? Come on...
I couldn't have had the only one!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>It was a job. That device, like Editec, got the job done. The
state of the art (editing) advanced along with the editors. We are grew with
the industry. Some days were long and some were more rewarding than others. I
am thankful to have been able to have put food on the table and put kids
through school because of this industry, Editec, TEP, CMX and all!

<DIV>"Good Old Days"? One could say that, sure. <BR>
