I developed some unique software to public it on the web that I call the Folklore Project.

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

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

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.

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

Apple was our benefactor at starting General Magic, but about a year later decided they would rather BE General Magic and tried to make us blink out of existence... which we eventually did, but it took a few years.

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