Title screen for “Quick Nibble”, a copy program for the Commodore Amiga.

Here is a little-something I had not seen or heard in a very, very long time.  The “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me” title screen for Quick Nibble, the old-school Amiga copy program.  I remember walking into a local Amiga user-group meeting in southern California in 1987.  It was basically a big copy-session and you could her “Yo ho, yo ho…” firing up every few minutes.  Super bold, and very pre-Internet, of these guys to put their address and phone number on the opening screen of their copier.

Old school…

Mike Knotts was born in 1968 in a small town in southern Indiana. Even when very young, Mike showed a love for all-things technical and sci-fi. Moving with his family to California in the early 80's, he eventually graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in History. Rather than put that to good use, Mike continued to pursue his passion for technology by working for early, regional ISP's in the mid 1990's. He currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, where he works as a project manager for an Internet startup. Mike is a co-founder of Geekometry.

      Now this is some small-world stuff, because I attended several SMAUG copy sess… er, user group meetings, as well as countless Rock-n-Bowl’s at Oak Knoll Bowl (RIP)!
