  Here's my LinkedIn. I dunno why Bloomberg has me as Chairman of bn.com. Fatbrain.com was bought by them but I was never chairman. https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-macaskill-970ab1/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-macaskill-970ab1/

    Awesome, thanks! Those automated profiles are indeed often wrong or outdated. Thanks for all the great stories from the NeXT era -- either you have an incredible memory or took very good notes during those years. The level of detail in the stories sets them apart from many you read.

      Thanks! I pass them by people who were there at the time as much as I can because sometimes it seems too insane to be real. Did we really think that? Andy Hertzfeld wasn't at NeXT, but he helped me tell the story better. Dunno if you saw this one from Wayne Goodrich, who was there and continued to Apple: https://www.cake.co/conversations/jNZlq6j/the-man-who-produced-steve-jobs-keynotes-for-20-years https://www.cake.co/conversations/jNZlq6j/the-man-who-produc...
