aged 14 i didn't know the term 'vector graphic', but that's exactly what i was creating.
my presentations at school were always clearly above my colleagues.
The year was 1990, Acer 286 desktop, 2MB RAM, 20MB hard disk.
The applications were supercalc 5, wordperfect 5.1 and jetsetter.
jetsetter was a monochrome svg app, running under MS DOS 5.
with limited options I was more creative and more productive.
