Visual Memories…
For the old Windows users:
Doesn’t this look familiar?
I stumbled across that page and the toolbox screenshot imediately caught my attention.
If you don’t know… let me tell you what it looks like: the toolbox on that page looks like the toolbox of Microsoft Paint in Windows 3.1x.
If this was already known, sorry… but I didn’t know it ![]()
I wonder if Microsoft bought MacPaint from the authors? Notice that it was a MacPaint is a Macintosh application (as its name says).
What do you think about these figures (quote from the above page)?
It’s interesting to note that MacPaint was a rather small program by today’s standards, but I guess that it had to be to run in the Mac’s one eighth of a megabyte of memory. The finished MacPaint consisted of 5,804 lines of Pascal code, augmented by another 2,738 lines of assembly language, which compiled into less than .05 megabytes of executable code.
Impressive, isn’t it?… It can’t be Microsoft ![]()
