Along with some portraits of various teachers :) there are a bunch of drawings that bring back memories. Whodini, 2010: odyssey two, Herb (remember the old Burger King "Find Herb" promo?). It was the largest program I had ever written, and the oldest program of mine that I still have (well, there's a tape of Trash-80 stuff somewhere, but I'm not going to bother). But it's fun to look back at those things, even if they're stuck back in an attic somewhere. See, now I'm going to have to cobble something together so I can look at these pictures!
