Crap, I just realized your timeline starts at 1988 so the 1984 reference doesn't apply. OH well, happy reminiscing everyone!

Pop tart blow torches was my first web experience and a great example of web "design" for 1994.

via email: openframeworks.cc : an amazing toolkit of code developed by zach lieberman and theo watson. It makes c++ accessible to artists and designers. 60% of the projects that are receiving prices this year at Ars Electronica were developed with it. Some videos: http://vimeo.com/tag:openframeworks.

May 1990, introduction of Windows 3.0. Succesful launch, Windows gets traction, large DOS players such as Lotus and Wordperfect are asleep at the wheel, the PC landscape is being reshaped, people adopt the graphical user interface in masses… and the mouse. Interview of PC Magazine stating that Windows has come a long way from 2.0 and Microsoft showing off the new stuff. Interesting trip back in time, somewhat funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbhjCwtpUbU

P.S. Will you post all images once you collect them all? Might be fun/useful…
