- smackfu 14y agoSince those are all about original Mac from 30 years ago, that makes the "people only talk when they retire" seem more plausible.
- joezydeco 14y agoI hold hope that one day we'll have a folklore.org equivalent for the period where Steve returned to Apple up to the iPhone or thereabouts. Even a "Soul of a New Machine"-type book about the development of some products (iPod, iPhone, OSX) would be interesting. In either case, Don, thanks for these stories. Any insight at all into how the sausage gets made is a great read.
- DanBC 14y agoPeople may have heard of "Rock Family Trees" - you look at the members of bands and trace backwards (and forwards) to see all the other bands involved. Here's an example for Crosby Stills & Nash (http://familyofrock.com/browse/details/csny.html http://familyofrock.com/browse/details/csny.html) and one for Eric Clapton (http://familyofrock.com/browse/details/clapton.html http://familyofrock.com/browse/details/clapton.html) It could be interesting to do a "Start up family trees" to see the flow of people throughout the industry. > In either case, Don, thanks for these stories. Any insight at all into how the sausage gets made is a great read. Strongly agree.
- joezydeco 14y agoThose family trees are fun. In a different life when I worked in one particular small, tight-knit industry I took a large whiteboard and traced each employee outward. That was a lot of fun. I suspect in the case of Apple, however, that there would be a lot of circular loops many times over. =)
