Old words, new uses. Probably the way it's always been. It's especially nice to bring up the history that shows the printers were/are usually on the cutting edge. I think it's the combination of real world problems, the ink in the blood stream and working closely with words. Barry,

This site was the second online site to serve the print industry. The first, Printer's Periscope, was launched in 1990 by industry leaders Jack Smith and Chris Lyons, before most anyone had heard of dot and com in the same sentence. Chris Lyons maintains that Printer's Periscope was the first commercial B2B online site serving any industry, and was clearly years ahead of anything else in the print industry.
