Think back to 1991. Remember where you were? What were you doing? What did your hair look like (I was rocking some fantastic 90′s hair! Hot rollers and hair spray, baby!)?
Remember what tech was like back in 1991? 6 pound ‘laptops’. Apple introduced the PowerBook laptop. Remember Compuserve and BBS? Microsoft Releases MS Dos 5.0 and Windows 3.1. You could also run OS/2 and the first version of Linux was released. A 486 PC computer was selling for over $7,000! Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect, Harvard Graphics were popular pieces of software. Nintendo released the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. And, Tim Berners-Lee from CERN turned on the Web!
And, something else happened… Snagit was released in 1991. Yes, Snagit! Snagit turns 20 years old this year! Can you believe that? Snagit has been built on your feedback. And, thanks to your support, Snagit is still going strong after 20 years. You can see Snagit’s history here
Please join us in celebrating the first 20 years of Snagit live on The Forge this Thursday at 2pm EST. Tune in on the Visual Lounge Blog here. You might have to refresh the page.
