#Computer expert clipart software
We laugh at the limitations now, but when it came out, many thought it magical.Īnother software title many hoped to get was Microsoft Publisher, which was Microsoft's DTP title which came with a huge collection of clipart. If you were lucky then you got Microsoft Office and Encarta, a bundle only reserved for the elite computer buyer, but it was enough to make one get into debt to buy, after all why wouldn't you need Office in the average home to write a 2 paragraph letter or keep the home bills listed? Encarta was what we had before the internet, described by Microsoft as an encyclopedia on your computer it was 'packed' (well not entirely) with information about all sorts of stuff. The best deal was to get a bundle of software included if you were unlucky, you would get some collection of unknown titles that were either useless crap or didn't speak with other software. It was the late 90s, and everything was beige towers with monitors only a bodybuilder could lift and keyboards with keys that were so deep you could park a bicycle between them.Ĭomputer chains were springing up everywhere like Evesham Micros, TINY and Gateway and it seemed they could do little wrong as the home PC revolution took off. It only seems like yesterday that I went and got myself my first computer system.
