Wow thanks so much for the background info, and thanks for giving me a peek into the past! That makes a lot of sense about how it came about and what it was trying to accomplish, knowing the restraints the software was written under only makes the product you came up with more amazing!
The thing that strikes me the most about this whole thing is that your pizza tool is essentially the same functionality as Domino’s online pizza builder today—but it took the rest of the world a quarter century to recreate what you had in 1990?! Sometimes I feel like the consumer software market has hit the ‘pause’ button on the computer revolution and stalled forward progress for decades…learning about this tool backs that suspicion with proof. You were active during the golden age of desktop software, this must have been such and exciting time to be creating things.

AMEN! I Loved this quote from the email exchange : ) About to watch your video now, can’t wait to see these ideas brought to life in motion.
Thanks again for the background info and links, feel free to send any further replies to tomhodgins@gmail.com in case this HN thread gets lost. I’d love to hear more about what you built since the pizza tool too, I’m fascinated!
