I been programming since I was 9. Started on my TI 99/4A, with Extended Basic (with 32 K of memory!). Moved up to my Apple //c, max'd with 1MB and an 8MHz Zip Chip. Eventually moved to a Mac IIcx with a Full Page Display and 20 MB ram (back when 2MB was "huge"). Went to college at UMass Amherst. Worked at Specular International on Infini-D (wrote save/load, the Sequencer etc). Then I worked for a little known company in Rhode Island called "The Company of Science & Art" aka CoSA, on a little tiny thing called After Effects. CoSA was bought later by Aldus. You know where Aldus went, right? Still working on AE but now at, you guessed it, Adobe. Some of my older stuff is documented at my other site, http://www.lazilong.com. My personal site is http://www.davecotter.com.

My twin flame and now wife Liesl and I both like karaoke. We got a few discs so we could practice at home. My thinking was, hey I'll just download some shareware karaoke app so we can play the discs on the TV in the living room (to which my mac server is hooked). I searched the internet high and low, and only found Jim Bumgardner's (search for "CD+G" on that page) program, which only runs on System 7! So instead of giving up I said, "I shall rectify the situation!" and thus, kJams was born!
