(As noted in the article, CDE isn't really secure to use anymore as a daily driver due to lack of development, but it's good for some nostalgia purposes)

Thanks, Vero, for including me in your Bookmarked Profiles section.
If you’re still wondering what Vero is, I don’t think you’ll care joining this social platform anyway. So, I won’t explain.
sadly lost to a domain squatter a decade ago, Smackerel interactive was a canadian multimedia design duo (dave groff and kevin steele). mac users might remember them as the creators of the Mackerel Stack - a goofy hypercard stack that equal parts interactive toy and business card
after the company closed, dave and kevin went on to write some online retrospectives about art & design during the peak 1990s multimedia era. their mini-essays are succinct, thoughtful, and inspiring. i posted the first essay about hypercard a few months ago here: https://dialup.cafe/@vga256/111896945530811821
this is the second of those essays, recovered from the wbm... Learning From Limitations: When Bevelled Edges Were Cool.

kevin's a super nice guy. wish he had joined mastodon.
