Finally, the release of Paintbrush for Mac!

Uh, yay?

Wow, it's nice to see Apple is making such STUNNING advancements in technology.

MS Paint used to be called Paintbrush back in the 2.0 and, 3,0, 3.1 days. I forget if the change came with '95 or '98...

Fun Fact: Windows has a lot of useless code in it and Paint can be run by typing "pbrush" into the RUN window instead of "mspaint".

Also, Program Manager, an integral part of pre-1995 Windows, can still be accessed in modern day Windows versions despite being completely fucking useless.

Oh boy, now it comes with a basic painting program? No wonder everyone seems to favor Macs these days!

And I'm pretty sure it was called MSPaint on Windows 95.

Wouldn't it be better to just buy out the license for the GIMP?

Ah the subtle art of sarcasm. Used by so few, lost on so many.

Sarcasm is difficult to convey over the internet. Moreover, this "amazing news" is coming from the major Mac supporter on the site. I could definitely see the sarcasm if someone else was posting the news.

You know what fucking rules? Hypercard. That was the first computer animation type program I ever used. I made some awesome shit on that, too.

I guess shufflepuck cafe was pretty sweet, too.

All that talk of old Windows versions makes me annoyed at Vista even more...

I use Vista...

Man Windows 95 was fun.

Posted: Aug 28 2007 12:42 pm

Hell yeah. That's why I always had the desktop on my laptop (XP) look like Windows 95.

Posted: Aug 28 2007 12:46 pm

I have XP on my desktop and yeah, I try and make it look as much like '95 as possible.

I remember Kid Pix. I would always make stupidass movies with the puppets.

For the record, it's not shipped with a Mac, it's a 3rd party app. And I was being 1/2 sarcastic, since I was sure that I'd be one of the only ones who cared about it and I'm simple that way, but at the same time I figured that those forum members who do have Macs may find it fun to use. I personally hve spent many countless hours using MSPaint, as I will now with Paintbrush!

KidPix ruled. I had so many expansions of that.

And I can't draw/paint anyway... Confused
