Ray and I feel the same way about computers. Nobody even cares about LOGO anymore.

It was created by the 'If' Appreciation Society in an effort to entrench in the minds of a new generation the permutations of their favourite word.

Worked for me! My first taste of computer Operating came from directing Apple's logo turtle to make repeating spiral patterns.
Now I am the raddest hax0r.

A few years late, we were all disturbed by the clunky, turtle-shaped turtle that was the star of Atari's logo extravaganza.

As an aside, that same Atari became a platform for an early computer censorship debate, when someone wrote 'wank' on the screen, confusing the turtle and casing the teachers to keep us all inside while we waited for the defiler to admit their deed.

Naughty Manish...

Man I totally remember doing huge animations on LOGO. Making the turtle buzz around appearing as various pixellated sprites and stamping copies everywhere.

I made an animation of a helicopter exploding and its rotorblade hitting a guy and splitting him in half. Then a closing shot on a pair of gravestones, one for each half of his body.

I like Gimp, although it's not really the best program for people who don't like bugs.

It also has some pretty appalling interface design decisions which interrupt a good workflow model.

I'm a Usability Engineer! It is too a real job!

But in terms of how much power you get for free it's awesome.

Nobody in new programming classes cares about my story about how I used to plant a .com file on DOS-run computers in programming lab that would clear the screen and print HELLO CHARLES in huge letters when they typed in "a:"

My stepson used to go to Walmarts with a virus infected floppy and krunk their display computers.

Now he is in Walmart management. They must have secretly infected him while he thought he was infecting their display units.

Funny how those things work....

66000th view? That probably doesn't count for anything.

I remember being incredibly young and showing everyone all my screensavers one by one and everything I could do with them. And everyone pretended to be impressed.
