in reply to @internet-janitor's post:

Several years ago I made the ill-fated decision to pick up a rune-encrusted floppy disk i found on the sidewalk and insert it into a 4mb expanded Macintosh Plus. Ever since, the entity previously confined to that 3.5" prison has controlled my dreams, compelling me to construct an ever-expanding edifice of 1-bit interactive multimedia.

I'm pretty OK with it, honestly.

I am Internet Janitor, and I'm here to ask you a question.

Is an artist not entitled to interactive thingamabobs, whatzits, and doohickies?
"No!" says the man at Apple, "HyperCard is obsolete"
"No!" says the man at Microsoft, "Try the new MSPaint with GANN bullshit"
"No!" says the man at Adobe, "That'll require a $200 per month subscription forever"

I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
I chose the impossible. I chose... Decker.
