I recently encountered a cache of old computer discs in a remote corner of my basement. Although my handwriting was scrawled across many of the items, I scarcely recall using this outdated format. Did I really manage magazine layout with the aid of these flimsy discs? It serves as a valuable reminder that the giants of today- from Apple to Microsoft- could easily become the Tandys of tomorrow.

My father claims he can still do all the calculations by hand but I saw his slide rule on his desk.
