And Now, Our Featured Presentation

[]

PowerPoint, the program you love to hate was originally released in April of 1987 (tip o'the pen to the WSJ.com for the heads-up).

For your bullet-point pleasure, some notes about the recent past :

•published by Forethought of Sunnyvale, CA
•originally named “Presenter” and designed for Windows 2.0
•2 developers, 16 months
•coding done using a Lisa with two 5 MB hard drives connected via the serial port
•ran on any Macintosh with 512K RAM and a floppy drive—no hard disk required

[Next slide, please]
