I stared using Ventura Publisher on that 4.77 Mhz computer with a green text, and black background. I laid out the local PCA newsletter, and even did two newsletters for other people for money. It was painful slow, and I just had a black box for the photos and handed the printer a photo with a number for each photo and he did halftones. Ventura Publisher was a WYSISWYG after it rendered the display. It was built by Xerox back when they invented the mouse. It came out in 1987.

I printed them on my HP laserjet II that printed 300 DPI, and 8 pages a minute. That printer was HUGE. I finally got a 386 and a color monitor and 256 colors and a 14,400 Modem that was screaming fast or so I thought.

With the paid for newsletters I paid for the laser printer, and even made a few bucks.
