The relevant passage of Lee's email says <em>"This was all <strong><u>around</u></strong> the '87 time frame which I <strong><u>think</u></strong> pegs it as the first graphical point & click BBS UI..."</em> (emphasis added) </p><p>This is hardly authoritative. It's just a vague recollection. </p><p>(Making it worse, the WP citation lists the publisher as "Jason Scott for Wired Magazine (?)". This is nonsensical. The excerpted email is hosted on Jason Scott's bbsdocumentary.com website, which has nothing to do with Wired.) </p><p>In fact, a search of discmaster.textfiles.com for contemporary releases of SkyPix-related software, turns up no evidence in support of a 1987 date. </p><p>For example, the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://discmaster.textfiles.com/view/21003/BS1%20part%2019.zip/BS1%20part%2019/Skypaint%20v1.0.adf/s/startup-sequence">title screen for SkyPaint v1.0</a> says "1988", not "1987": </p> <blockquote> <p>SKYPAINT Version 1.0 - Release <br/>Copyright (c) 1988 by Michael Cox - All rights reserved <br/>SkyPix graphics protocol Copyright (c) 1988 by Michael Cox <br/>Brought to you by INCOGNITO software </p> </blockquote> <p>The file "AtrTerm.DOC" for <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://discmaster.textfiles.com/view/11573/FishNMoreVol1.bin/more/telecom/demoterm/demoterm.arc/AtrTerm.DOC">Atredes/Skypix "demo term" v1.1</a> has the following copyright at the bottom of the file: </p> <blockquote> <p>ATREDES, SKYPIX, and SKYPAINT are Copyright © 1988, 1989 <br/>Michael Cox. All rights reserved worldwide. </p> </blockquote> <p>Or the "SkyPlay.doc" documentation file for the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://discmaster.textfiles.com/view/17427/United%20Public%20Domain%20Gold%204.iso/tbag/tb034.dms/tb034.adf/Doc-Files/SkyPlay.doc">SkyPlay Skypix File Player</a>: </p> <blockquote> <p>SkyPlay is Copyright (c) 1989 by Michael Cox but is FREELY REDISTRIBUTABLE. <br/>The Skypix Graphics Protocol is Copyright (c) 1988, 1989 by Michael Cox. <br/>The ATREDES BBS SYSTEM is Copyright (c) 1988, 1989 by Michael Cox. </p> </blockquote> <p>Anyway, I feel like the content of these contemporary files far outweighs Scott Lee's vague recollection nearly 20 years later. </p><p>So I would suggest removing this source, and changing 1987 to 1988. </p><p>Also, please note the same problem exists in the <a href="/wiki/Skypix" title="Skypix">Skypix</a> article.
