What's changed over the last two decades, and where are we headed?

I began writing about hydronic systems for Supply House Times’ parent
company BNP Media about 16 years ago. Back then, each column was created on a
boxy little Macintosh computer with a 9-in. screen, printed on a dot matrix
printer and saved on a 3.5-in. floppy disk. Every month, a printed copy of the
column along with the floppy disk were mailed to the editors.
Back in my rep days, the vice president of our company was a flashy guy
with a gold lion’s head ring the size of a golf ball, an even bigger, fancier
watch and a Cadillac that had a three-body trunk. He replaced that car every
two years, alternating between an all white one and an all black one.
