In 1984 Apple released the Apple MacIntosh and its two 'killer apps' (as we would call it nowadays) were MacWrite (word processor) and MacPaint. It's also notable that graphical software had a huge part in the rise of the computer mouse, as you'll find out below.

Instead, I like to focus on those graphical applications that all professional graphical designers hate - and were used most by all common users :). Don't be afraid, I'm not a professional graphical designer, so I won't be talking about all different versions of Adobe PhotoShop.

Besides text editors (see one of my previous articles) and video games the most used software on home computers is probably drawing software (at least before the rise of the internet).
