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

I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II

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

The Macintosh having shipped, his next agenda was to turn the rest of Apple into the Mac group. He had perceived the rest of Apple wasn't as creative or motivated as the Mac team, and what you need to take over the company are managers, not innovators or technical people

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

I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

You show me a great program and I'll show you a passionate individual somewhere behind it.
