Doesn't "workflow" come from the corporate world?

I've only ever called it workflow here on the list while responding to someone 
else who had called it workflow -- my digital darkroom actually was in my old 
colour darkroom, still said COLOUR DARKROOM on the door (though I added an 
Apple logo sticker), and I usually closed the door and turned off the lights 
when I went in.

I also had a brilliant old Kodak ad from the 1920s that I glued to the side of 
one of my monitors (I was running three computers -- one scanning, one doing 
the heavy lifting of correcting etc, and one running the printers) -- it had a 
woman sitting at a table with a hand-crank daylight film processor, under the 
legend "The Kodak girl at home".  Emblazoned across the bottom of the ad, in 
Believe-It-Or-Not lettering was "THE DARKROOM ABOLISHED BY THE KODAK DEVELOPING 
MACHINE!"

I'm like Shel.  The word just bugs me is all.

Whatever the hell it is I do only became called workflow since the
advent of computers and scanning and digital storage/manipulation.

What I do is "get film developed and have prints made".

You (and everyone else) can call it whatever you want.  <g>

cheers,
frank
