Andy is the principal author of the posts on https://www.folklore.org/ https://www.folklore.org/ , which is all about the development of the mac. Definitely worth going through in an afternoon, if you're interested in that era.
- filereaper 8y agoman, folklore.org was an amazing find when I went through university. I was fully convinced all those late nights at the lab meant I was doing something horribly wrong the whole time. Reading about all the trial and failure that the Mac team went though really set everything into perspective. I really wish more groundbreaking projects cut through the mythology behind them, the sharp edges where the teams bled through aren't always shown. I really enjoy works where this stuff comes through, works like "The Soul of New Machine" and the like capture the hard parts...
- pjmlp 8y agoAnother useful website on the same vein is "The Long View" http://basalgangster.macgui.com/RetroMacComputing/The_Long_View/The_Long_View.html http://basalgangster.macgui.com/RetroMacComputing/The_Long_V... Contains histories about Photoshop, Object Pascal, A/UX, MCL, and many other Apple technologies.
- badsectoracula 8y agoAn iWeb site! I didn't end up using it much, but i still find it the most intuitive, simple and true WYSIWYG full site making tool regardless of platform. Too bad Apple discontinued it (although it still works in modern macOS, i wonder for how long though), there are some alternatives but every single one i've seen either scales down the WYISWYG part or scales up the complexity - or both.
