For most of you this event probably seems like ancient history, somewhere back in the mists of time. But for me this was a very real and exciting event that I participated in as an exhibitor, the start of my amazing journey with the Mac community, a journey that continues on today.<\/p>\n<p>As I recall there were two or three dozen software booths that first year. Some of the software on display included <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/multiplan-10\">Multiplan<\/a> (Microsoft), <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/pfsfile-pfsreport\">PFS:File<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/thinktank-128\">Think Tank<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/filevision\">FileVision<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/games\/mac-slots\">Mac Slots<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/habadex\">Habadex<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/macdraft-12\">Mac Draft<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/maclion\">Mac Lion<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/musicworks\">Music Works<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/clickart-publications\">Click Art<\/a> and of course <a href=\"http:\/\/macintoshgarden.org\/apps\/overvue\">OverVUE<\/a> (the direct predecessor to today\u2019s Panorama X). Of course all of these companies have long since disappeared, except for two \u2013 Microsoft and ProVUE Development. I\u2019d say that\u2019s a pretty nice club.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While it\u2019s impressive that ProVUE has survived and thrived for so many years, it\u2019s mostly a testament to Jim Rea\u2019s skill and tenacity as a developer, tech writer, and business owner. Although all his code has evolved from OverVUE\u2019s 68K assembly to Panorama X\u2019s Objective-C using AppKit, Jim\u2019s original vision of a RAM-based database has stayed strong. If you\u2019re looking for an excuse to get started with Panorama X, which I relied on for Take Control business management before we sold the imprint to Joe Kissell, there\u2019s a 40% discount for new users through the end of February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-post__link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/forum.provue.com\/t\/celebrating-the-40th-anniversary-of-provue-at-macworld-expo\/6871\">Read original article<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the ProVUE News &amp; Blog, Jim Rea writes: Forty years ago today the doors opened for the very first MacWorld Expo in the Brooks Hall basement in San Francisco.
