I sat down and USED MacPaint on a shipped Macintosh 128 in March 1984, Thank you. It worked as advertised. The software would DO EXACTLY THAT HELLO.

Yes, there were some bugs on the demo day, even the voice was a bit iffy. . . but we are NOT talking about the Chinese woman drawing. We are talking about the "Hello" image that anyone could write out using the MOUSE on a shipped Macintosh using MacPaint that was available on day one. SHEESH!

Yeah, and WHY did you write "hello"? Because you saw it on the MacPaint box, manuals, flyers, posters and intro video? Really? So WHEN was it made?

1983.

That's why that graphic was ready for the rollout in 1984.

In other words (because you can't seem to grasp this), the "hello" graphic was made BEFORE MacPaint shipped. ON A LISA. Because that's where MacPaint was DEVELOPED. Just because you could make "hello" WHEN it shipped doesn't mean anything - you were SUPPOSED to be able to make it when it shipped!

SHEESH!
