I had Turbo Pascal first, later THINK Pascal and then THINK C.


Ooh, are you by any chance the "J Calhoun" who made Glider? If so, thank you for making such an awesome game that is such a strong memory of mine from those days! :) If not, well, you share the last name and first initial of a legendary (IMO) Mac game developer! haha


I did write Glider. That was a long time ago. Thank you for your kind words.

I still enjoy writing small amusing applications and games.


Another Glider fan. I wrote a poor clone of it for the Commodore 64, which was not a patch on the original. Thanks for a great little game.


That's funny because the first playing around with a paper-airplane-floating-on-a-column-of-air I did was on a Commodore 64 using character graphics (that I hand-edited to look more like a paper airplane and floor vent).

When I got a Mac Plus and figured out how to draw sprites, I recalled that little Commodore exploration I had done years earlier.
