About Plot
History
A long time ago in the last millennium I wrote a program called SciPlot for the fantastic NeXT computers (the older ones of you maybe remember).
After the NeXT period I had the idea to make a similar program for windows computers. After some work on this I did not find any fun in programming for Windows computers and so I stopped the development of SciPlot for Windows.
Now we have Mac OS X and I started the Plot project which takes some of the ideas of SciPlot but is a completely rewritten program with a different focus than SciPlot.
