JcJ, When I went back to college to finish my first attempt. (It actually took me 3 tries on that first degree! There were many that doubted, yet I prevailed) I digress... I took a room from a couple. He had been in Radio/Television as well. We used to drink red wine all night and he would tell me stories about his world travels. There were only three or four places I had ever asked him he had never been... He was a retired merchant marine (Worked in comm) then he went on to work 20 years for the CBC [ Canadian Communist Radio! :-') ] When I met him he was completely retired and spent his summers in Schomberg, Ontario and his winters in the Bahamas on a 33 foot Concrete sailboat.
He used to talk about the equipment he started with and the equipment he ended with at the CBC like it was 500 years between them. From 4 cases that required 2 guys to lift a case to one backpack he could sling around himself. My how things change... Cheers, Shawn JcJ Wrote: Jim, At least you have had the opportunity to get an "education" in computers. What I have learned has been through necessity and I don't do a very good job of learning. The world of broadcast automation has changed drastically since I was first exposed to it in the sixties. I need to visit one of the local radio stations and see how they are using automation, pc's, etc today. I am sure that it is nothing like my days of radio and television. jcj -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
