Mine was the gerber sprint with 15" and 30" sprocket fed plotters. Got ANAgraph about a year later, when they came with a screaming 10 MHz harddrive with 40 megs of storage space. I was first a handpainter too, picked up screen printing flat stock along the way.

First computer cutting program I used was Anagraph, then casmate, signlab since. Was an old hand letter and screen print guy myself back in 83. Remember dark rooms and long bed graphic cameras?
I remember those. I remember the early Gerber plotters too - manual weights you put on top of the blade holders. It was a big deal when we could finally scan a logo and reproduce it.

Dammit, make it faster!!
The video is especially funny to me as I was a Graphic Designer in the USAF. Wasn't my first job though. I retrained into "Visual Information" after serving 11yrs. 3yrs as an Air Cargo Specialist then retrained to F_111 Bomb/Nav Avionics then graphics.
