MEJ 25 Years Editorial by Roy Szweda
When I had a proper job among my tasks was looking after Microelectronics Journal and this involved writing editorials like this one. Am particularly keen on this snap as it includes one of the few photos I actually took that appeared in it.
In the photo you can see some of my home "workspace" as these modernistas have it. My IBM PC with CRT, my 21st birthday tankard, two issues then and now of the journal and two calculators. These are the most significant I think - the one at the right was a Christmas present from 1976 and the one on the left was a promo item from a show, a see-through solar-powered job. Nowadays of course people have no need of calculators as we use our phones... we lost something along the way I think but I am glad I still have those calculators in my treasure box of souvenirs of my sordid past.
