    Book about Copier Techs

    Found this book, centers around some early Xerox techs in Silicon Valley.

    Looks more philosophical, a story of men and machines.

    Amazon.com: Talking About Machines: An Ethnography of a Modern Job (Collection on Technology and Work) (9780801483905): Julian E. Orr: Books

    This might be old news, I have no idea.

      Had a read through the blurbs about it and decided it can't be writen by a real copier tech as it has lots of big words and none of them look like $#@%&#!!!!!
      At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

          I had to look up what an "ethnomethodologist" was, and to be honest after reading the description I'm still not sure!

                  Yeesh....those techs on the cover look like they are due for retirement.

                  Please do not PM me for questions related to Konica Minolta hardware.
                  I will not answer requests or questions there.
                  Please ask in the KM forum for the benefit of others to see the question and give their input.

                      Years back there was a show called 'The secret life of....', one episode was The secret life of copiers, starring many Mita 900ds,500ds, and other oldies. lots of fun to watch, although the hosts got sidetracked playing with solenoids and stuff.....
