MacPaint Source Code Released to Museum
gbooch writes "The Computer History Museum, located in Mountain View, California, is not only a museum of hardware but also a museum of software. Today, with the permission of Apple, the Museum has made available the original source code of MacPaint.
MacPaint was written by Bill Atkinson, a member of the original Macintosh development team. Originally called MacSketch, he based it on his earlier LisaSketch (also called SketchPad) for the Apple Lisa computer. Bill started work on the Macintosh version in early 1983. "
What constitutes done with it? When was the last time any development or effort was put into any thing DukeNukem related? What about Windows 3.1 (oh sorry, that code is still in Windows, isn't it, heh)

Heck, I'm not even interested in Office 2010 now :)
The problem with this is that Apple was so innovative that they can infringe patents for ideas that other large companies came up with years later.
Without cryptic comments like 1750 ; RIP JSB the source code is not very entertaining.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
74 years after Atkinson dies. Err, wait, I mean, whatever Disney says.

P. S. of course, you would never silently launch this on your office neighbor's mac. Never.

Perhaps you should learn the difference between "then" and "than" before you call others stupid.
