The desk was a typical National Mapping/BMR desk, built by the Government carpenters in Kingston, in 1971. AutoCAD 14 and Map, was controlled from a GTCO 20" digitizer, buried under maps and papers on the desk. I had an HP A0 plotter, HP pen plotter, and HP inkjet printer. A Miro graphics card enabled two monitors to run, a rarity then. The computer here was the last in a series of PCs I ran, a Total Peripherals Pentium IV running NT. It was still running this year, 2009, when I gave it away to the Computer recyclers at Charnwood!

This was a DBS Turbo Plus XT V20 processor, 8086 with an (8087 maths co-processor, bought later) PC Users Group, still running. I have notes from Canberra MICROWORLD, Digital Business Systems from Chapman amongst these papers.ĭuring 1987 I bought an IBM clone from Peter Harris, of Digital Business Systems and the PCUG. Notes from the purchase quote from Peter and the Warranty filed in ACT Forests docs bag. The NEC APC IV was delivered on 25th Feb 1987 with the 20” GTCO Digitiser. I introduced CAD and computer mapping to Forests, on a NEC APC IV, 80286-80287, in 1987, using AutoCad 2.52. Then Tony Bartlett, when many of the rest of us were made redundant in 2001, during which we had the first fire around Stromlo, then the Forests and most of the ACT was burnt in the 2003 fires! Then all the stories were lost in the 2003 fires!Ī later Director was Tony Fearnside of FACTA and the Westbourne Woods.īrian Pratt, of Pratt's Tackle Box, then Graham McKenzie Smith, then some of the redundancies started under the Chief Minister for the ACT, Kate Carnell. Mark Edgerley was my first Director, who I met before being hired, and taken out by Ian Gordon to meet some of the staff and Foresters of Stromlo, Pierces Creek, and Kowen.Ī history of ACT Forests was written for a web site that never eventuated, in the very early days of the web. One of my several "sheltered workshops", I occupied over 30 years with ACT Forests, under a number of Directors and bosses.
