In 1979, the state of the art in digital typography was a $50,000 digital typesetter called the Compugraphic EditWriter 7500. But they didn’t know how to operate the Compugraphic EditWriter 7500. I guess I got the job designing Nassau Weekly because no one else knew how to use a Compugraphic EditWriter 7500. When the shop leased a Compugraphic EditWriter 7500, I quickly figured out how to push the limits of this new toy. The Nassau Weekly felt like a really grown up thing, probably the first for me.
