As a long time collector of early computers, it seems to me that the programs we use are an integral part of the digitial experience.
Programes like MacPaint started it all, as well as early computers such as the NeXT.
I personally owned some really early stuff, for one thing the first Sony Mavica, and I have loved digital images from the beginning.

Photoshop history
My first photo editor was Aldus Photostyler ver. 1.1, if I remember correctly.
I later switched to Adobe Photoshop, like most people. I seem to remember that I used ver. 2.5 (the first Windows release), and I think I still have the original Photoshop 3.0 box (released in November 1994).

I still use Photoshop 3.0 to get images off of the DCS200IR! It also takes the 12-bit mode transfers from the DCS420c. More modern versions of the DCS420 drivers "killed-off" the older Twain drivers that allow use of the DCS200ir. I also still have Photostyler 1.1 installed. Both programs were "bundled" with the Microtek 1850 Slide Scanner bought ~'94. I have noticed problems with the PStyler JPEG save option. Many of the JPEG's saved with it are unreadable. Photoshop 3.0 is fairly "solid".
I suspect if anyone wants to run a DCS100 or DCS200, they will be looking for older versions of Photoshop.
