AI, Through The Years

Adobe Illustrator splash screens through the years. Yeah, I have used all of these versions, it is only CS2/4 that I haven't really mastered ... I don't use AI that much anymore. And AI is my favorite, most beloved program. But I remember when you didn't get the 'preview" in AI and you had to create in "wire frame" then preview it to see what you had just done. Remember that?
