    I grew up playing with Letraset that was lying around at home.
    I started on an Amiga in Deluxe paint.
    I made my first website in pure html in 1994.
    I visited Cyberia (london's first ever cybercafe) with another geek from school since no one had their own internet connection. We typed urls from the yellow pages bit in the back of .NET magazine because we didn't know about search engines (or there weren't any then).
    I used to own photoshop 4
    I still rule at quark on OS9 even though I now use InDesign CS3.
    I used to think that Freehand was better than illustrator.

    • Which version of Deluxe Paint?Nairn
    • Deluxe paint II. Didn't have animation. But that symmetry tool was awesome!BaskerviIle
    • Didn't it didn't have animation? Huh. It certainly had colour-cycling though - "oooh, waterfalls!" :)Nairn
    • I swore II had animation - I thought I remembered doing Lemmings animations on it. Must've been on III.Nairn
    • I still have my boxed copy of IV at the folks (II was pirated, obviously). Never did get to use all 4086 colours! :..)Nairn
    • erk.. 4096, obviously.Nairn
