28 years! You would do a shorter sentence for Manslaughter! Bring back the good old days of moving plattens & fusers that set paper on fire (for those who remember the old AB Dick machines) I wonder sometimes whether im working for a copier manufacturer or Microsoft!

The Graph above (20-30 years) shows how lucky this trade is to have such a committed work force.
Or is it showing how sad we are not to have moved on............................?

I started back in 1973 which means I have done 38 years lard labour for some crime a swear I never committed.Still the early days were fun,anybody remember Remington office equipment.Mostly typewriters but they did do copiers,document storsge units and calculators.

Have not read all the thread. But I started working on "office equipment " when in the army. In 1972. First machines I worked on were IBM keypunch machines and card sorting/coallating machines. The 088 and the 188. Those gems had solid core memory storage. How many othere remember what that was?

I started at royal typewriter company in 1971 working on typewriters and royfax copiers( anyone remember e-stats?). Shortly after after that royal came out with thier first bond copier. I have been in this line of work ever since then and have enjoyed it for the most part.
