My first Journalism job was at a letterpress weekly. The press room set
headlines and ads from trays like that.

We had Linotype machines for the hard work of setting body type.

When I went to a newspaper that printed offset, it was like going digital;
Everything was typed on IBM typewriters.

I moved away from newspapers by the time they went to electronic newsroom.

I still get daily delivery of a paper newspaper, but when I'm out of town,
I read it on my iPad.

Hotels no longer put a paper outside your room every morning.
