No, I left Claris for 3DO in late 1992 so I missed your demo. I bought a copy somewhere locally (Whole Earth Access?) and was tickled when I looked at the scripts and found that you had used ColorizeHC!

"Bungdabba Productions" happened because the company didn't want to have to support the XCMD, although to be fair it wasn't exactly a tool for beginners. We pushed until they agreed that we could release to the public domain, so Bungdabba Productions was born. You can see that it was carefully labeled as a "public domain unsupported product" in the Claris Tech Info database [1].

Yes, luckily I get to work with Kevin all the time!

DOH! I only just realized that the opening page of the ColorizeHC stack actually even looked kinda Claris-y, just without the Claris logo in the upper left, and instead a BungDabba logo there.

Is 20 years to notice that too slow? :-S
