Chapter 1 ■ Navigating the <strong>Digital</strong> Landscape 9 Left: Steve Boulter sits in the new, converted garage studio of Nash Editions trying to drum up business, August 1990. There was no computer hooked up to the IRIS printer then, only a nine-track tape drive (visible at left of printer). Right: Jack Duganne (front) and Mac Holbert at Nash Editions, 1993. Duganne removed the IRIS covers to make them easier to maintain. Courtesy of Nash Editions Mac Holbert (left) and Graham Nash in 1997 at Nash Editions. Courtesy of Nash Editions
