I felt like talking about the "good" old days and would be interested to get some other story's, how it all started.
My first ArchCAD in the late 80ties was the 3.4 Version. Only 16 ( I think) layers which where numbered and you could not change. No curved walls, roofs, no polilynes, layout, not even plotmaker, no rendering, no stairmaker, I am sure there is more but can't remember.
I had a mac II ( I think ) 512 KB of RAM, 20 MB Harddrive, chip I think 16 MHZ, 21 inch screen black and white of course !
Costing if I rember correctly:
ArchiCAD 12000 Dollars
Computer 10000 Dollars
Screen 8000 Dollars
and if you after all this could aford a pen plotter another 29000 Dollars
So the workstation cost you: 59000 Dollars, can't belive today Architects where able to by this !
Cheers Carsten

The pictures are from a few years later:
- upper left is about an exhibition hall project for the Budapest expo, done within my post graduate studies
- lower left is "Hill House", dedicated to the "ArchiCAD 4.0 in Action" tutorial VHS video (yes, that time it was current...)
- on the right the 1992 ArchiCAD poster, which includes both images.

I like the yellow furniture in your house... very contemporary however you should reconsider that 'venomous' green steel work colour and pink walls (those postgraduate students... always pushing boundaries... no colour combination can be limiting) in your exhibition hall project... Let's hope that those two projects would not crash AC14 today...

To meet my girlfriend I was hanging around the booth as a "visitor" and was playing with AC4.0 on the showcased Apple computers. 2 years later I was to "officially" learn ArchiCAD 4.1 at the technical university of Budapest...
As a former architect, this Bauhaus reconstruction work is what I am the most proud of from my ArchiCAD works:

Is it still existing? Have you been there?
It is located on the hillside of Buda so from the rooftop terrace there is a terrific view onto the city especially at night...
