How a little paint program became a worldwide phenomenon.
Original text by Craig Hickman. Craig talks about his 8-bit Atari projects on episode 378 of the ANTIC Podcast.
Apple honoured Craig in their already-zapped-from-history Macintosh 30th Anniversary website.
John Sculley demonstrating Kid Pix on stage in 1991. John loves talking about “objects” the way Apple loves talking about “machine learning”. In Love Notes to Newton, Sculley claims the Newton project spurred ARM’s support for “floating point and objects”. Okay, John. OOP is a software abstraction, and no MessagePad ever shipped with a hardware FPU–not even the StrongARM in the MessagePad 2000. More about ARM’s relationship with hardware floating point units.
Macintosh Garden has copies of Fido, Camera, and Hickman’s 2005 art project Beautiful Dorena. Let Craig lead you on a guided tour through Beautiful Dorena.
