Ah, the (unlamented) good old days

Rico says that he was musing upon the changes in his original industry (having published his first literary magazine, A Garden Fair, back in about 1966, printed on the school's Gestetner and co-authored with the later-famous Charlie Haas, the writer not the wrestler) and, while he's now a published author and publisher through the easy-to-use on-line solutions of Amazon, Booksurge, and CreateSpace, he does occasionally miss the old days, and the old ways.The visceral feel of a Number 11 X-acto blade in your hand (and they still make them, but in 500-packs, not the 100-packs Rico remembers), the smell of rubber cement thinner, and the rubbery touch of a rubber cement pickup (where is that gummy ball of rubber cement now?), ah, that was publishing...
But so many things, companies, and people from the early days (like Frank's Type, Moody Printing, and a bunch of others) are gone now; rubber cement will soon be forgotten, with X-acto blades not far behind (except for surgeons).
