Boston Type & Comp Grid

**What the heck is a Comp-Grid?**
	In 1981, after a few years in the printing industry, I started Boston Type, a typesetting and graphics company in Glendale, California. After I became interested in computers, I designed a measuring device to help computer users fill out forms on their dot matrix printers. We sold a few thousand Comp-Grids, mostly at computer shows. It was lots of fun developing and marketing a product. While we made a little money on the project, laser printers soon rendered the Comp-Grid relatively useless. Not long after that, computers made typesetting services pretty much useless as well.

Here are a few photos (35+ years old - yikes!) of Boston Type's staff.

Here I am, trying to figure out
why I have all those rulers.

In February 1985, we linked our
first computer (a Kaypro) with
the typesetter.

We became famous for our annual Boston T parties. Here's our first in October of 1982.

In 1985, we got our first Macintosh computer. Here is Kirk from Computerland installing it.
