Wringing pictures out of text on my Atari 800 was some serious alchemy I could change the system font, but that required burning incense and paying homage to the moon.Īs I learned more about the Mac, it seemed even more like the future. If you weren't a home computer user in 1984, you can't understand how amazing the Mac seemed at the time. I'd sit doodling on MacPaint while my mom went around and bought whatever it was moms bought at Macy's in 1984.
The little 9-inch screen in the Mac's box etched its sketches at 72 ppi, sharp as a box of pins. At home, my 14-inch Commodore monitor rocked 320-by-192 resolution at best, for a pathetic 26 ppi. Yeah, sure, the interface was like almost nothing I'd ever seen before, but it was the pixel density that really killed me.
