My grandmother had a porch swing on the back porch. Several of the grandkids wanted it after grandma died. I don't even remember who got it. I sure did not want it.

We had one client order a bunch of printing of a site we flew last year. They are the original analog men. They print out a 8.5 xx11 on their color copier for a JPG file proof I sent them. Then they draw lines to show the area they want a print cropped to that area, and a size. Then scan it with the copied and email that from the copier for me to see. The site is in Texas, so north is never up, it is at an angle. Most of Texas ignores the cardinal directions and just builds in any ol' direction at all. They don't care about scale and that is great, because mapping programs all work with north as up.

Anyway I have to open the entire full res image, zoom into one area, the rotate the crop box to fit the area they want and cut it out. The full res image is 1.6 gig, then I rotate it in Photoshop to fit what they want, and send a "proof" of it. It is nice to have a fast computer. Just a few years ago rotating a large file 27 degrees would have taken hours. Now it is done is just a couple of seconds.
