I remember one of the very first things I did with my Atari 800 as a 10 or 11 year old was to create a little drawing program that moved a cursor using the joystick and drew when you pressed the joystick button. I added keyboard commands for plopping in a filled in square or circle (SLOW since I was using a crazy pi-r-squared vector drawing algorithm to create the circle). Essentially a clone of a turtle graphics application than I had downloaded from some bulletin board service at 300 baud (though I remember being frustrated at how much faster their circles appeared). Version 0.0.0.0.0.0.1 of Draw or Paint, I suppose, but at "high-res," it only supported a blue background with a white foreground as I recall. Anyway, glad to see the geeks getting younger and spanning sexes.
