Originally designed by Dr. David Thornburg as an inexpensive computer drawing tool for schools, the Koala Pad and the bundled drawing program KoalaPainter were also popular with home users. KoalaPainter in some versions was called KoalaPaint for the Apple II and PC Design for the IBM PC. A program called Graphics Exhibitor was included for creating slidewhow presentations of KoalaPainter drawings.
