The Print Shop Deluxe was the go-to software for anyone trying to spice up birthday cards, banners, or school projects in the pre-Internet era. First dropping in 1984 from Brøderbund, it gave regular people the power to design stuff that actually looked legit—on those chunky dot matrix printers no less. By the early ‘90s, The Print Shop Deluxe versions (starting in 1992) brought in more templates, better graphics, and a cleaner interface, making it crazy easy to crank out calendars, signs, and even floppy disk labels. Version 2.0 came in 1993, and by the time they hit version 3.0 in 1995, they had added drag-and-drop tools, clip art libraries, and even basic photo editing. For a lot of us, this was our first taste of desktop publishing—and yeah, it slapped.
