That wasn't really the purpose of the article, though. It was an interview with the creator of an iconic piece of software from a time that ushered in widespread use of personal computers. Should historians not write about the Battle of Gettysburg because it should never have been fought in the first place?
- Theodores 9y agoI felt the author saw that the software hadn't been properly stewarded by the various software houses that inherited it. However, I felt that it was a novelty product in the first place plus the then 'evil' Microsoft took away their Mac market by dominating the marketplace with Windows and then building a fairly reasonable screen saver into the operating system. This is a bit like studying a battle and not mentioning the enemy or the terrain, blaming the marketing department of Lockheed Martin for it going wrong.
