BoeBot GUI

I just saw this: https://www.parallax.com/downloads/gui-bot-software-basic-stamp-boe-bot

Heck, I never even knew that a BoeBot GUI existed, but here's mention of one from 2004! http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/74012/boe-bot-gui

So was I asleep at the wheel, or an ill-informed goofball, or both? Did everyone know and just not tell me?

    Let's see - quick Google search - what was going on on in 2004?

    Meet Thefacebook - Social media? No one had ever heard of it in 2004, until Mark Zuckerberg in February launched what was then called Thefacebook.com at Harvard University. College students loved the concept and it quickly spread across the globe. A decade later, Facebook says it has 1.15 billion monthly active users globally, with 802 million daily active users around the world.

    But yes - this was around then and some of us did see it. Because of the BoeBot various hardware possibilities, it was pretty much just a "driving" GUI - not as much fun or sophisticated as say the Scribbler GUI from the same time...

    OK, so I'm just hopelessly out of touch behind the times. Oh well, I gotta run, I'm opening up a new mimeograph shop downtown.

    Me too. :) Of course as kids, breathing mimeograph fumes and riding our bikes behind the bug spray truck prolly expalins why we're all brain damaged.
