by David Boyd, Vulcan Painters, Inc. As an industrial painting contractor, like contractors in other trades, I've seen and responded to numerous radical changes in my industry and in general business conditions during the past 25 years.

It’s mindboggling when you compare the state of information technology in 1984 with this technology today.
