    AP page-ready agate?

    We used it in Lynchburg and it made things a lot easier. Designers were able to spend more time creating sharp pages instead of spending time formatting MLB or NFL boxes/yardsticks. It takes about 2 minutes to go in, copy and paste onto the page using a Quark system then change to fit your...

    You know that you're old school if you can....

    Huggy, yes, he was. A very young Michael Richards. If I remember correctly, he copied Chevy Chase for his entrance and made a habit of falling down stairs. Fridays was a bad SNL ripoff but ABC (I think it was) felt like it needed to do something to compete with SNL. Of course, it never did.

    Terrific thread... I'm not as old as some here, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely. You know you're getting old if you remember: -- When Laverne, Shirley and Mork debuted (separately) on Happy Days -- The Afterschool Special on ABC every Wednesday. -- B-b-b-benny and the Jets -- Olivia...

    I did :) June 1 was my last day. I would have replied sooner, but for some reason it takes Verizon five days to turn on phone service. Yeah, I know. Don't say it.

    In my case, I had six years management experience before taking this job and had been in the business 18 years (at that point). But I know he has hired previous sports editors with less management experience. I believe that Joe will consider anybody regardless of management experience if he...

    I've never seen Nathan break a golf club or do the worm. Another good guy, though.
