Comment on Kid Pix as a JavaScript App

Oh man this brings back memories.

I must have been 6 years old. My dad came home with a computer that they were getting rid of at his work. He set it up that night and, having never seen a computer, I wanted to play with it. Well, for some reason, it had Kid Pix installed. I remember drawing something with a couple of green lines and a few rabbit stamps for good measure. As I recall, I then insisted that we had to print it and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

You had colour! Back in my day... ;-)

Really though, similar story here: my dad brought back an LC III and Color StyleWriter 2400, and before long I was drawing rocket ships and poo.

I realised that my pictures looked better in LogoWriter than drawn freehand in Kid Pix. And now I ended up writing software!
