That was a great read. I actually sat down and read through all of it just now...very arresting and detailed.

It makes me want to get into map-making again, only seriously this time. lol.

I've just spent the last 50 minutes or so reading this, and the worst part is, this still felt like a very brief summary. I'm sure you could very easily make this 20x longer and it still wouldn't cover every facet or detail, but nonetheless, you've summed up 10 years of promaps quite nicely. It was a very nostalgic read, with nice personal touches thrown in as well.

Great, great post... thank you very much for writing this.

Modern maps are so much better than the old ones. No idea how people coped before.

Long but fantastic read. Mad props for the contribution.

The way the maps evolved artistically is especially striking. The old maps were real ugly haha
