Wow, it seems like only yesterday when the Cycling '74 site launched,

the disk, and what the top-level patchers should be called.

I remember the day when David convinced me that my externals would be 

better off being maintained by him (completely true), although I'm a 

little bit sorry I didn't ask for an "about box" credit at the time :-)

I remember the dark years, of constant OS and hardware platform 

upgrades, which was part of the genesis of the modern platform of Max 5.

It's remarkable how long Max has been around, and what great strides 

it has made over the years. Here's to many more years!

Congratulations to you, David, and to all those who have worked on the Cycling '74 product line.

Happy B-day Cycling74, love you a bunch!

This should go into history books. I don't know how David managed it, 

but Gibson would have killed Max as it killed all these other great 

opcode programs. I still don't know why...

The whole world would be very different and much more gray and dark...

> upgrades, which was part of the genesis of the modern platform of Max 5.

I'd still love to see a reader for the old 68k format files. There is 

one for Pd as far as I know... That would be a nice anniversary project...

Together with the new skin feature of Max 7 we could be able to remake 

the very first Max patches and let them look like the originals for the 

25th anniversary of Max itself (which could be soon, but I don't know 

the exact date...). Lets organise a big party for that event all over 

the world, together with the Pd community...

Yes, at least for my lifetime, I don't want to miss it. That's hopefully 

Its funny how you can suddenly see, that you committed your life to 

something without being aware of making a conscious decision about it in

Yes, at least for my lifetime, I don't want to miss it. That's hopefully 
some more decades...
