No, Talisker, it's YOU who still doesn't get it. The original point was that this "could not have been drawn on a computer in 1984" and my point was that on the contrary it could and was easily done with MacPaint, as shipped with the FIRST Macintosh. . . It's irrelevant whether the Lisa was involved in creating MacPaint or that drawing in 1983, the FACT is the Macintosh 128 could do it in February of 1984 when it shipped as one continuous written line!
Now you can jump up and down all you like, claiming anything you want about ad copy, box printing, etc, but that does not change the FACT the 68000 processor driven Macintosh 128 using MacPaint in February 1984 could create that image. Period.
Incidentally, I said I did NOT write "hello," but that I created something else which had nothing to do with what I saw in an ad, on the box or elsewhere.
You are arguing a point without a purpose!
Get what? I pointed out - to someone else, not you, that contrary to their claim that it was not possible to make such a graphic on a "computer" in 1984, that it was, in fact, done a year earlier, in 1983.
Then YOU replied, "No, they did not. It was easily reproducible on an original Mac. I've done it myself, using MacPaint. . . not the Hello, but my own signature and other graphics. Quit making stuff up. MacPaint was demonstrated ON STAGE! "
You're wrong, Sword. Period. What I said is true, that's when the "hello" was made, and that's what I said. That it was ALSO "easily reproducible" in 1984, as you said, is actually what is irrelevant, because I was replying to the original statement that it was not possble to produce at the time. It was possible, and it was done a year earlier at that. That's where the "hello" came from. That's how it was made, during the MacPaint development, on a Lisa.
WTF is your problem?
MacRumors, 9-5 Mac,etc. constantly change the date of release of the new Pro. I understand some delay with Kaby Processors. I’ll just wait and see. Also, reported price of new 15” Pro, loaded will be $2500. I want one, even though my 6 year old Airbook runs just fine.
