Thanks for this, Mike. I read a number of Kai's tips many years ago, when all he did and talked about was just waaaaaaaaaaaay out there. It's both fun and educational to read these things now -- and we can take great joy in how far computing has come, in both software sophistication and hardware power, since Kai's days of demonstrating PS 2.5. Hey, that was actually the first version of PS I used to some modest extent, as an LE version came with a Microtek scanner I bought in 1994 -- although I had used PS 1.03 a tiny bit in 1990, being one of the very first graphics people here in Norway to, ahem, "get hold of" a copy.
So thanks for the memories, Kai and Mike!
