We were developing an innovative Personal Information Manager called Chandler but a couple years ago I took off from that to do a project writing down my memoirs essentially, reminiscing about the development of the Macintosh.

I left Apple in April of 1984, pretty soon after the introduction of the Mac.

Scotty heard that I was thinking about quitting Apple because of his actions, so he called me into his office and asked what it would take for me to stay? I said, maybe if I could work on the Mac project, which Steve had just taken over from Jef Raskin.

People who work on the user interface side need to have empathy as a key characteristic. But if you are writing device drivers you don't really need to understand humans so well.

The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere

I did some products for the Apple II, most notably the first small low cost thermal printer, the Silent Type.

I got bitten by the free software bug in February of 1998 around the time of the Mozilla announcement.
