Jim Schuyler, Founder of DesignWare   Jim Schuyler was Founder of DesignWare. Founded in 1980, Designware created educational software that was published by other companies — including SRA, Xerox, and Spinnaker — as well as software that it published under its own label. Designware's titles included Creature Creator, Grammar Examiner, Mission: Algebra, Spellicopter, and Trap-a-Zoid, among others. Jim programmed Story Machine himself, which was published by Spinnaker Software. Designware was acquired by PeachTree in 1984.   In preparation for this interview, Jim wrote a seven-part article on his blog about DesignWare's pre-history, story, and legacy.    This interview took place on September 11, 2017. In it, we discuss Peter Rosenthal, David Seuss, and Bill Bowman, all of whom I previously interviewed.    The intro and outro music is Confusion Reigns, composed by Jim Schuyler.    A video version of this interview is also available.    Peter Rosenthal interview   David Seuss interview   Bill Bowman interview   AtariMania's list of Designware software   1982 InfoWorld article about DesignWare   1983 InfoWorld interview with Jim   1984 PC Magazine Profile on Jim   Jim on Twitter   Jim's compositions on SoundCloud
