Herein lies The Untold History of Flash. I had no idea that Macromedia Flash has its roots in the somewhat fertile soil of pen computing and the long gone Go operating system. Creating graphics software for a pen environment was a worthy endeavor, perhaps more so than trying to convince business people to adopt the platform for work. After the market completely dried up and AT&T; pulled the plug on Go, the SmartSketch team turned the product into animation software, the Internet became an everyday thing, and now the tale is history.
