Technology has a way of showing our age…
I spent today creating a clickable prototype in Fireworks based on screenshots of my wireframes. Usually I just program it all myself, but I have to take the fast way out this time. It’s been YEARS since I’ve used Fireworks – since about 97 when it was first being released I believe. Yeah…
The last time I did anything similar to this I hand coded imagemaps based on screenshots to help PC tech support people troubleshoot Macs for 3DFX back in 2000. The techs could actually click through an HTML version of the Mac OS in order to direct users on how to troubleshoot extension and preferences issues on OS 9 without ever using or seeing a Mac.
Needless to say, this project has so far made me feel really old.
