Hi,

Jack.flp may be in Shared Flipcharts\Primary.

If not, let me know and I'll dig it out.

OK. Here is a blast from the past.

The attached flipchart goes back to 2002, when I was prototyping the first ActivPrimary software.

At the time, my son Jack was 9 years old and he became a convenient ‘guinea pig’ for testing out software ideas. He helped me put this simple flipchart together (one of the first to be created with ActivPrimary).

As described in the flipchart, Jack influenced fundamental design decisions we took on features in both ActivPrimary and ActivStudio, much of which continues within ActivInspire today. This is the reason why he’s mentioned in the ‘Credits’ list within both the applications, if you know where to look ;)

Later (2006), Jack (and friends) were employed in some of the dual pen prototyping, which helped us to formulate the ActivArena functionality within ActivInspire.

At the time of writing, Jack is now a 6’2” 16 year old who is regularly mistaken for me when he answers the house phone!

How times change.
