I hope you're right but I doubt it. The housing market
is up to its eyeballs in forclosures with more to come and
credit card debt is at an all time high.

I've worked for the same
company for 23 years (printing/machining ) and
watched our industry dwindle slowly since the early
90's. Things have sucked pretty bad for the last 2 years
and its a miricle we're still here. Unfortunately, the
writing is on the wall as we have enough money left
for about 1 more pay period. Too bad its not boating
season as it looks like I might have some free time on
my hands coming up.

Don

I hate to hear stories like that. Is the downturn in your industry economy
related or is it due to diminishing requirements for printed material?

Computer/Digital technology is the culprit. Most folks are happy
with the quality of color copies (or the like) rather than *real*
offset printing.

We've had so many I've lost count but Im afraid its a little
too close this time.

Just the same, I hope you're right about the economy. I would
like to see the real estate market rebound soon.

Is there a possiblilty that your company could change tactics, perhaps
start getting into computer technology? I personally send
electronically produced drawings to a local shop to have sets made,
stapled and bound. They'll even overnight them via UPS to whomever I
want them to go, then back charge me for it.

We actually have evolved in that way for many years now.
Lets just say that the store hasn't been minded well as of late.....

long story snipped

That's a shame. There's a lot more to a company than the current technology
it uses. Trust, relationships developed with customers over the years and
name recognition are what the company.

I think it's time for some new thinkers, who have knowledge and respect for
the culture of the company to take over and set some new directions.

(Hint, hint).

Yep.

However, remember Not Invented Here Syndrome.

Speaking of which, you ought to hear my verison of the Marine Corps
Hymn on my new toy.

If I can figure out how to get it to the computer, I'll send it to
you.

It's a riot. Music plus 'Splosions, gun fire and ooorahs!

Next up - Anchors Aweigh - with drowning sounds.

I got envious of Mrs.E's "system" (which I bought, set up and optimized),
so today I set out on a mission and found another SACD player for "my"
setup.

Sorry, JimH. I have same recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture

http://www.amazon.com/Tchaikovsky-Ov...p/B00005AVNHin three formats, SACD, DVD-A and conventional CD.There's no comparison. SACD rules!Eisboch

Understood. When in college, I worked for a company that, even as a
part time employee, and still a tad naive as far as business practices
go, even I got the fact that they were running themselves into the
ground!

Except for small and/or time critical jobs, most of your
printing/publishing has gone offshore.....
