Dr.Octo Version 1.0 ran on SunOS 4.1.3 (I think) and was essentially a demo, executing on a very small library of program material. All the basic features were there, including some that don't exist in later versions due to various limitations. I was probably its only listener, and it got me through some difficult times, as someone close to me died just after it was "finished" (could run on its own).

I was probably its only listener, and it got me through some difficult times, as someone close to me died just after it was "finished" (could run on its own). There was a haunting classical piece in this versions' limited repertoire (can't remember the name now) that sort of hung in the air and made time stop. Or maybe I was just mourning. But whenever I think about about this version of the software, I think about that piece, and for a brief moment I'm transported back to that time. Ghost in the machine!
