	Jake of 8bitjoystick.com says: That guy with his Mac Paint program changed my life. You think that Steve Jobs would hook him up with an iPhone. I mean he did help this little project called "Macintosh" back in the early 80s. Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )
	betsythedevine says: Oh, man, the guy behind MacPaint! As Jake also said, he changed my life. I did most of the illustrations for Frank's and my first book in MacPaint--printed them out on my dot-matrix printer, shipped off this "art" to WW Norton, and it's still in print. The earliest version of my science joke book started off as a photocopied pamphlet whose "art" was MacPaint. Simon and Schuster sprang for an actual artist when they published it, tho. And don't get me started on all the little dot-matrix black and white "stained-glass-windows" my two kids made for me, some of which I still have. Robert, thanks so much for this memory! Hope you and Patrick have lots of fun with your iPhone. Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )

	brucehoult says: Not just MacPaint! The awesome HyperCard was all his too. Besides being great in its own right in allowing millions of regular people to make useful simple hyperlinked applications for themselves (and it's still better than Microsoft's ripoff, VB), it also is what inspired Tim Berners-Lee to make the first web server and browser. And not only that! He also wrote the QuickDraw graphics library that was so ultra-optimized in hand-written assembler that it allowed 8 MHz machines (everything from the first Mac 128 through to the Mac Plus and Mac SE and Classic) to run a responsive GUI. The Mac would have been impossible without him, at least at that time. Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )
