1983 my dad’s tool and die shop was using a PC with Autocad with MDA and CGA displays. We later put a 286 accelerator in it, and added serial ports to download jobs to the CAM computers.
In 1987 I joined Simon & Schuster and they were doing no typesetting and very little layout on PCs or Macs. The few older machines they had were used mostly for editing text and to do back office tasks. A couple of years later we outfit the company with PS/2s, modern Macs and networking. By 1992 all the older machines were gone, along with the artists tables, all replaced by Mac workstation running PageMaker and later, Quark Xpress. PC with Windows for Workgroups were used for text editing and administrative business.
