Subject: RE: BS: Obsolete in your lifetime?
Bert... my HP printer could do E size drawings (the largest used in construction contract plans) but along came a lot of printers that could do 11X17". MUCH cheaper to send out my contract plans that way. Far less time to print and to upload too. And, programming coloured ink pens was a thing of the past, thank goodness.
I tossed my draughting board when I could use the 11X17s on my desk and on my PC.
I actually do all my stuff on letter size now. More sheets of paper but printers are dirt cheap.
