You know you’re getting old when a software product celebrates a 10-year anniversary… and you remember installing the first version.

DragThing is a launcher app for the Mac. It came out in 1995, and I remember it well. It wasn’t freeware or shareware, but “cool-stuff-ware” — the documentation requested that users send something cool to the author. As it happened, I had two boxes of something cool in my garage, namely the last 200 copies of the JAR CD.

I’ve been paying cash to upgrade DragThing ever since, from System 7.5 through 8.0, 9, 10.1 through 10.3.9… so far. I own three licenses. Oh, and one more thing: “Dock Schmock.”

James, congratulations on 10 successful years. Hey, if that old JAR CD is getting thin, let me know. I have 199 copies left in the garage.
