This is one of those fun cases where one blost begets another one in pretty rapid succession.
Nothing deep, just a fun little jaunt through computing memory lane.
I have Dave's toot to thank for the genesis of this post.

The blank canvas of MacPaint, the moment you open it, still feels like pure magic to me. People keep creating incredible things with it—but just a second before any of that exists, there’s only that quiet, perfect white space. Surrounded by just the tools you’ll need—nothing less, nothing more.

🌕 解碼部落格 – 80年代中期MacPaint藝術至今仍令人驚艷
➤ 重溫早期數位藝術的魅力
✤ blog.decryption.net.au/posts/m
這篇文章分享了作者從Discmaster光碟中挖掘出的80年代中期使用MacPaint創作的早期數位藝術作品。儘管當時的螢幕解析度和技術有限，這些作品仍展現了藝術家的創意和技巧。作者也表達了對這些藝術家現況的興趣，並計畫探索同時期的Amiga電腦藝術。
+ 哇，沒想到這麼早就有這麼棒的電腦藝術，真是令人驚奇！
+ 看到這些作品，讓我想起了以前用電腦繪圖的時光，充滿了回憶。

Kopf hinter #Quickdraw:

#Entwickler Bill #Atkinson mit 74 Jahren verstorben

Durch seine #Arbeit an #Quickdraw und #Macpaint gilt er als wichtiger #Apple- #Entwickler. Nun ist #BillAtkinson an Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs verstorben.

#SteveJobs holte Atkinson als Mitarbeiter Nr. 51 zu #Apple und zum ersten Entwicklungsteam der Firma. Dem #Programmierer ist die #Quickdraw- #Bilschirmtechnologie mit ihren auffälligen abgerundeten Ecken zu verdanken.

I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.

For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.

I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.

It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.

RIP, Bill. :alogo6:

the europlus zoneeuroplus :autisminf: (@europlus@europlus.zone)Just a reminder that the original Myst was developed using HyperCard, one of Bill Atkinson’s many masterpieces. But I’ll always remember how he thought overlapping windows (or perhaps the smooth movement of windows over each other) was a solveable problem because he recalled seeing that Xerox had solved it (they hadn’t), so he just worked it out because he then thought it could be. An amazing mind, now lost to us. RIP Bill, and thank you!

OMG I've never seen this video containing a panel by the team behind the original Macintosh together with Steve Jobs.

Bill Atkinson RIP gives a demo of MacPaint around 29 minutes in. Remember kids this at first was painting software on a greyscale display, not colour.

Go ahead. Take a look at the source code of Bill Atkinson's MacPaint and QuickDraw.

'MacPaint was written by Bill Atkinson, who was a member of the original Macintosh development team. He based it on his earlier LisaSketch (also called SketchPad) for the unsuccessful Apple Lisa computer, so he originally called it MacSketch. He started work on the Mac version in early 1983.

'Atkinson also created Quickdraw first for the Lisa, as LisaGraf. Andy Hertzfeld, another key member of the team, considers QuickDraw “the single most significant component of the original Macintosh technology” in its ability to “push pixels around in the frame buffer at blinding speeds to create the celebrated user interface.”'
