A little Throwback Thursday for ya...

[Vong]

So, I'm getting ready to move and as I pack things up, I'm coming across some old (older?) stuff....

 

Here is what the printed A:M Manual to v8.0 (circa 2000) looked like.

 

 

And here's how thick it was...

It looks well-used!

Ah, the good olden day.

Thanks for stirring up memories Curtis.

 

Here's what the inside of that ancient tomb should look like:

It should be worth noting that a good part of the old manual made its way into the Technical Reference that is still with us today.

Rob, it was! :-)

 

Rodney, you're welcome! I've got more stuff that I'll be posting shortly...

 

 

As I'm going through and packing things up, I'm hanging on to all my A:M stuff, but sending the Maya books to the be recycled or donated. :-)

I have a quite a few AM manuals earliest 1998

[pixelplucker]

does the big crease in the spine line up with the rigging section?

 

Book looks about as thick as TAOAM book and the reference manual combine.

Book looks about as thick as TAOAM book and the reference manual combine.

 

It only looks that way because it is.

ToaA:M updated the tutorials found in the old manual.

The Tech Ref updated the technical references.

 

I toyed with the idea of creating a new master tomb that added Holmes Byrant's tutorials and such... even did some preliminary work... but when I got to that 'work' part... quickly lost interest.

One of the issues is that of consistent formatting throughout which of a necessity would require a whole lot of reformatting.

Perhaps when the active subscriber base rises sufficiently we can launch a kickstarter to get something like that done.
