#VintageMac #Mac #MacDev #macOS Today's the 40th anniversary of the first MacWorld Expo. 
It was usually in January, but that first one was the weekend of February 21. (By the way I didn't remember that, had to look it up.) Of course it's a milestone for the entire community, but for me personally it's a big day because ProVUE exhibited there. I found an article in the SF Chronicle with a picture of the show floor, and my booth was in the picture! As far as I can tell I'm not personally in the picture, but I recognize at least one of my employees. I'm pretty proud to have managed to stay in the Mac software business continuously since then, as far as I know the only other company that has done that is Microsoft. Perhaps you've heard of them.

Tonight I wrote up a post about this anniversary on the ProVUE forum, with some more detailed thoughts I had about it and about developing native Mac software for 40 years. It also includes the picture I mentioned, and links to the SF Chronicle article and to some of the software that was on display at that original show. I probably should have written this up some time ago instead of at the last minute, but hey, I'm a programmer not a PR expert. I guess that's why hardly anyone these days knows that ProVUE is by far the longest running indie Mac developer. Ooops, I spilled the beans. Anyway, here's the link to that post in case you’re interested:

@provuejim Pictures are not showing in your blog post
@mxmora Thanks for the heads up. What browser/system are you using to view it? The pictures seem to work on my end, so I’m stumpted. It’s just a standard Discourse server.
@provuejim Looks like its working now. Maybe a temporary glitch. Safari/Macos Sequoia
