Film Processors ,Stripping celluloid up on "Golden rod", begging the client to backsave their vector art files to Illustrator-8 because the owner is too cheap to upgrade your Adobe tools..ARRGHH!!
Nope I cant say I miss those days

When I first got to the place the first thing I made them do was to get me a copy of Photoshop and QuarkXpress. They were editing and creating prepress files in....gulp....Adobe Acrobat with PitStop. Then expected me to edit bitmap images in Illustrator??? At least they met me that far ;o). I couldn't convince them to do anything further, so I was still hand-punching negatives and exposing press plates on a vacuum table. At least they didn't make me do hand layout with an xacto knife and a hot wax machine ;o). Hand-pasting every page number was a real drag...lol (another job).
