Explanation for last week's paper
Last week's "different-looking" Putnam Town Crier & Northeast Ledger was caused by the failure of one of the computers used to create the paper. I use two computers and the display on the computer with the publishing program went dark on deadline day.
Not publishing was NOT an option (newspaper people are "quirky" like that). I hobbled together the newspaper with the other computer. That computer does not have any rulers, copy justifications, the specialty typefaces I use or any of the stories or photos that were trapped in the dead computer. The paper was finished at 4 a.m.
Kudos to Savage Systems for reviving the display on the publishing computer the next day!
