About a week before the trip to Ski Barn, this article was one of the lead links in The Record’s daily newsletter.

Plus, I happen to work in the print industry, so of course my mind went haywire as I contemplated the hardware, software, and processes involved with—or how they evolved throughout—this proving ground exercise.
Which had more impact on me? Easy. Digital transformation.
