    Computers and new business

    I'm feeling a bit nostalgic right now and thinking back to the old Mac Plus. Did anyone have one of those? A great machice with a crisp black and white display. A classic.

    And computers back then brought with them a whole new business - desktop publishing. Everyone was buying a Mac and getting into desktop publishing. My dad did it. Was great for probably as long as Bros were famous and then it went tits up really badly.

    Was desktop publishing one of a kind or were there a bunch of little businesses that popped up when computers really took hold? Anyone else find it almost impossible to imagine a world before computers? Like, imagine doing everything on paper? Yikes.

    Sorry, just rambling but one thing led to another and I started to think about computers and businesses and the old desktop publishing boom. Anyone else experience that either themselves or through family members?
