Script Debugger’s 20th Anniversary

25 Dec 2014 • blog.latenightsw.com

Interestingly, Script Debugger 1 may never have been a product. I was very uncertain about how to market and sell what was really a $129 piece of shareware. BBEdit was the only model of how this could be done by an independent developer. Remember, the Internet was not as it is today. Software was shrink wrapped in boxes containing floppy disks and printed manuals. It took serious cash to produce product. I had 2000 copies made at a cost of CDN$20,000 (1994 $s). The packing boxes filled an entire room in my basement.

What does it tell you about me that when I hear “script debugger” the first thing I think of is the Microsoft Script Debugger?
