ps

an early apple employee named bill atkinson developed [1] hypercard,  
as part of his employment agreement apple had to incorporate  
hypercard. apple never really understood hypercard, but some credit  
hypercard with being the predecessor of the hyperlinked internet.  
atkinson also developed quickdraw, marching ants, the menubar, the  
selection lasso, fatbits, and macpaint.

atkinson is now a [2] professional photographer of note and does  
nothing with computers beyond his own personal requirements?like  
writing his own icc profiles for his epson printer. his current  
preoccupation is photographing polished slabs of rock and publishing a  
pitcher book. best...jf
