Much more fun - first static printing ...

Hi all Forum guys,
I just thought you may like to see my Good Morning to the Universe :-
It is certainly much more fun getting going in DevExpress for "static reports" than it was back in the late 70's when we sent a handful (or two) of ASCII characters to a dot matrix printer.
The problem is that the world then was simple, and consequently manageable - now it is complex and a bit more difficult to control etc.. But it is more 'FUN'
Seems like we can't have it both ways - hope you are like me, and have a bundle of transferrable skills to bring to the report print design table. It would be a nightmare to try and learn everything at once.
Did anyone ever do "Aldus PageMaker" back on a 386 machine ? That was scary till you got to know it!
Best Regards,
Phil.
