It only happened with Kickstart.

Never finished it. It was SO annoying to play. I managed to foist it off when I sold my 1000. >4) What was the first commercially available paint program for the Amgia? GraphiCraft? I dumped this with the 1000 also. I hope this doesn't make me an 'old-timer'... I started with KS 1.1. Perhaps the people who had 1.0 should be considered the 'ancient masters'.
