High school paper editor in me is like very proud of my newspaper that I've created.
Jessica LessinHOST
Are you using like a page layout or what, PageMaker? What are you using?
Dave MorinHOST
Oh yeah, PageMaker.
Dave MorinHOST
That's funny.
Dave MorinHOST
No, it's broadsheet design.
Ben KeeneGUEST
They're really... three people putting it together, myself, there was an art director, and then we kind of shared an assistant, assistant editor, assistant art person.
Ben KeeneGUEST
Were you on PageMaker? No, we were past PageMaker.
Ben KeeneGUEST
They might have started off that way when the magazine launched.
Ben KeeneGUEST
I wasn't there at the time.
Hans BuetowCORRESPONDENT
It turns out Stephen was doing a lot more than that.
Hans BuetowCORRESPONDENT
Aldous' big product was called PageMaker, and PageMaker was one of the first pieces of desktop publishing software.
Hans BuetowCORRESPONDENT
It was the first, like, foray into home publishing.
Hans BuetowCORRESPONDENT

Sean DeWeerdHOST
But I used Corel.
Sean DeWeerdHOST
I used PageMaker, InDesign, Photoshop.
Sean DeWeerdHOST
Dreamweaver, all these platforms and I learned them and they all had value and it's just interesting to think about all those different design pieces and where they are now or versus what they, what they were created into and what that looks like now.
Sean DeWeerdHOST
Right.
Michael EisenbergHOST

Michael EisenbergHOST
So at 20, the university I went to where I edited the college paper was one of the first places to get desktop publishing, which no one knows what that is anymore, but PageMaker.com. Aldous Pagemaker and Quark in the days where the real newspapers, like the ones you did business with, wouldn't let desktop publishing because that's not the way you lay out a newspaper.
Michael EisenbergHOST
That's right.
Michael EisenbergHOST
The Harvard Crimson wouldn't have it.
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
At the time when I was starting, uh, in 1996, um, you did not have that uniform of a system.
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
And so, um, y- you're familiar with this software PageMaker?
MiķelisHOST
Mm-hmm.
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
Of course, because it was started with a Macintosh-
MiķelisHOST
Yeah
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
...
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
PageMaker.
Luis Miguel MusiGUEST
And that was a system that we were using to do typesetting at the time, and it did not handle, uh...

Mike BlumenthalGUEST
of
Brandon MorphewHOST
PageMaker and Adobe Illustrator and
Mike BlumenthalGUEST
integrated that with laser printers and learned all about the printing industry and sold into it.
Mike BlumenthalGUEST
So what was fun was solving those bigger problems through integration across both industry and technology, cameras, computers, printers, to create working solutions for small newspapers.
