I went through art school in 1988 and learned everything by hand. Technical pens, rulers, ellipses, french curves, t-squares, illustration board, etc.
All tools. Very direct connection to me. Comfortable where they felt like a part of me.
First time I sat in front of a Mac, it felt the same way. It felt like I was still a very key part of the creative process. It didn't isolate me in any way. It encouraged me to do more.
The Mac has never been "just a tool" to me. It always seemed to be more and I always pushed myself to do more with it. To chase the dream.
I give credit to Steve and Apple for that. They seemed to be doing more and expecting more from themselves to make the experience of using the Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad the best it could be.
They made me believe in the dream.
