I was there, then. No, we had shelves of binders with poorly printed documentation, and we had to do a huge amount of trial and error, reverse engineering, and calling up people in companies on the telephone. Progress was very slow. A hard-to-fix bug could hold you up for months.

Things are much more fun now. I can produce in a day what used to take me a week. In a month, I can produce things I couldn't ever have done on my own.
