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

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

But typically for a project like the Mac, the size we had was pretty good. And it has different stages. The team grows as you have to write manuals and do testing... though the Mac had no formal testing.

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

In fact when I first got my Apple II the first thing I did was turn it on and off, on and off, just because I had the power to do so, which I'd never had on a computer before

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.

Being idealistic really helps you overcome some of the many obstacles put in your path.
