I'm a big sucker for 1bit black & white art as done on the Mac. Some of 
the stuff is just plain beautiful. Has anyone been involved in creating 
this stuff on actual compact Macs back in the 80's and could shed some 
light on the actual process? What software would you use? Would you 
"draft" stuff up on graph paper? Were Wacom tablets already a thing 
back then?
