 Magic carpet ride: they may look like two 1.4 MB diskettes, but they were more like a magic carpet. I put 'Disk One' into a Macintosh sometime early in the 90s, and my life hasn't been the same since. Insert disk: I'm working as a picture editor at the San Francisco Examiner: grateful for a very modest wage. Eject disk: I'm cleaning the garage, and these two diskettes show up in an old, once-important diskette wallet.
In the interim, I've helped start a half-dozen companies, travelled the world... well, I'm in a very different place. I know a lot of people who have had the same experience... with Mosaic, or Photoshop, Linux, Open Source... kind of strange that it was Frontier, a relatively obscure, if powerful, Mac-only product in its day. I guess it was the access Frontier's high-level scripting gave me to the Mac's internals, and the appreciation for what you could do with a computer... I couldn't bring myself to throw them away... |
