A few weeks ago we were in San Francisco to celebrate the 20th aniversary of Photoshop. It was a pretty big deal, featuring a bunch of well-known folks talking about the birth of Photoshop. Heck, there is even a web site dedicated to the 20 years of Photoshop.
Meanwhile, poor old Adobe Illustrator turned 20 three years ago, with barely a wimper of recognition. Looking back now, the only thing I could find was this cool video on John Nack's blog - it came with Illustrator in 1987. I feel badly, since I didn't really do anything to recognize this important occasion myself, especially since it was Illustrator in 1987 that really got me started in teaching.
Anyways, happily belated anniversary to Adobe Illustrator - you're 23 years old, and as great as ever!

That's right, poor Illustrator! Happy Birthday Illustrator! You will always be my no.1 vector tool!
Yeah, let's hear it for Illustrator! Happy 23rd birthday! I've been with you since Illustrator 88.
You know I thought about Illustrator while sitting in the audience at the Photoshop party - like where was the party for AI? It's the first Adobe tool I ever used (AI 1.0 for PC with run-time Windows). So yes, Happy belated Illustrator.
I have always felt that Illustrator was the older sibling that didn't get any attention. Is there anything good out there like NAPP for Illustrator?
I used Illustrator before Photoshop and it still has a special place in my heart. How about dedicating a whole issue of Layers Magazine to Illustrator in celebration of it's birthday.
