It&#x27;s amazing how much we take for granted now. It&#x27;s not worth my time to consider color palettes and manually encoding images in a binary blob, but to the craftsmen and women who worked on this game, it really mattered. I&#x27;m grateful that I can stand on the shoulders of giants and focus my attention on other problems, but to me there is something romantic about working on such a focused technical problem. For me, these are the amazing &#x27;castles in the air&#x27; that Fred Brooks was talking about.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikiquote.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fred_Brooks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikiquote.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fred_Brooks</a>

About the car. The producer for Corvette Summer was Hal Barwood, who was also the project leader for Yoda Stories.

Fond memories. Boldly embraced the Windows 95 chrome.
