Yup. It hadn't struck me before, but I probably am of the last generation that will have a use for proofmarks. This makes me glad-but-sorry (we need a word for this, something better than 'nostalgia': it's a cheerful melancholia, that sense of loss as we advance to a brave new world...); fond as I am of all computergeekery, I also have an abiding love for paper and its concomitant industries. I guess I'm in the ideal position, bridging the last of the old printing technologies and the first of the new, right at the turn of the tide. So long as I don't get stranded...
