Our own ExScite Varouj Tilbian reported in from the field:

Most these picture taken from 2010 – 2013 the grey haired lady is my beloved wife of 45 years now.  The baby is our grandson a gift from our daughter and spouse. Life is good I am healthy not as old as Victor Robel my friend or not even as old as Efi wienrib. I am sure I am misspelling the names but they were just a few of my mentors that I cherish.  My son his wife and our daughter and her family live near us five miles and life could not be any better.  I am very active in work and in the new world of technology. Never old to learn.

All the best. Will send more photos old times and new later on.

Scitex, errrr- Kodak new location

To those of you interested in how Scitex of today (errrr… Kodak, Israel) looks like, here is a picture of the main space.
Zohar reports that there is no real manufacturing at Kodak, Israel- all the work is done by overseas subcontractors.
The picture (summer 2011) was sent by Zohar.

Among the many ExScite’s seen at a recent GraphExpo show, we could get these four to pose for the camera and take a picture of (from left to right):

APM’s offerings include inventory-savings solutions for a range of industrial applications across multiple sites that meet the needs of corporate as well production managers.
