ASK AUNT CALAMITY

Dear Aunt Calamity:
From the hysteria revolving around Star Wars' 30th anniversary, one almost could conclude that the rest of 1977 was a complete news dud. Didn't anything else important happen that year?

Dear Laura:
Yes. There was one other noteworthy event: Thomas and John Knoll whipped a little software program called "Photoshop" -- which was developed for (you guessed it) Star Wars.
Got problems? Aunt Calamity will tell you where to go.
