Project Athena - Day 48 (Old Technology)
Back in the Day....
“Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code.”
Before computers and "command z" became my way of life, these technical pens were a mainstay to my craft. There was a punctilious pride among designers and illustrators who mastered these finicky little pens. They demanded constant care, routine cleaning and a delicate touch when disassembling and reassembling. In order to achieve a smooth, continuous line, one had to have a steady hand and lots of patience. Weird, I miss them.
In expert hands, these pens can still make an ad or drawing magically stand out against the bland precision of a computer rendered graphic.
