		meekaaku on Feb 8, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: John Walker, founder of Autodesk, has died I first came to know about Autodesk, when I got to try AutoCAD on DOS in mid 90s. It was snappy and fast even on the hardware of that era. Pentium had just come out. Later on, did some modeling and animation on 3d Studio on DOS. This was well before Autodesk started buying up all the competition.

I started on version 10 on DOS around 1991 or 1992. I think version 12 was the last one on DOS, and it was so snappy! Never been the same since.
