Folklore - macens historia av personerna som var med

Tack vare Daring Fireball hittade jag till Folklore som är en sajt om hur Macintosh-datorn utvecklades, berättat av folk som var med på den tiden. Andy Hertzfeld är mannen bakom webbsajten och en gigant inom machistorien.

För alla med det minsta intresse i Apples historia är detta en liten guldgruva med historier, de flesta skrivna av Andy Hertzfeld själv, som till exempel Black Wednesday:

I could tell there was something wrong from the moment I stepped into the building, on the morning of Wednesday, February 25th, 1981. Instead of the normal office buzz, there was a muted sadness hanging in the air. People were standing around, huddled in small groups. I ran into Donn Denman, who had a cubicle near mine, and asked him what was going on.

"Didn't you hear? Scotty fired almost half of the Apple II engineering team this morning. He started calling people into his office since around 9am, one at a time, and telling them that they were being fired. I think over thirty people have been fired so far. No one knows why, or who's going to be next. There's going to be a meeting out back around noon when he's supposed to tell us what's going on."
