I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

The Apple has the fewest bells and whistles. It has simple sound and few graphics special effects. In a way, that is a weakness because markets for the other machines are getting bigger.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.

All of the good stuff is going to be done in the future. The stuff we are doing now is crummy compared with what will finally mature.

It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers.

Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game, I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer.
