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

It's [programming] the only job I can think of where I get to be both an engineer and an artist. There's an incredible, rigorous, technical element to it, which I like because you have to do very precise thinking. On the other hand, it has a wildly creative side where the boundaries of imagination are the only real limitation.

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.

As you know, Microsoft eventually kind of grabbed the gold ring out of Apple's hands, I guess.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school

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.

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