Iflyme 0 #2 March 20, 2001 Ya, another non-geekoid here. I'm a Senior ENG (electronic news gathering) Editor in a television news room. We videotape editors put together all the video that goes into the newscast. The computer is certainly one of our tools, but as often as not, they are screwing up. Yesterday is was a printer server (I don't even know what that is, really). Like I say, "we spend hours saving time with computers..."Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dove 0 #10 March 20, 2001 I'm in TV too. I do graphics for live sporting events, like NFL football, NHL hockey, NBA basketball, and MLB baseball. And more recently I am covering March Madness for CBS. I thought I had the coolest job until I started skydiving, then I thought the folks who lived and worked at the DZ had the coolest jobs!
