Chris MacAskill - Steve Jobs, AutoCAD, and Focus Groups (1991)
If Unix workstations were cars, what kind of cars would they be?
Written by Chris MacAskill at cake.co (defunct, 2021).
Watch a bakeoff between Sun’s DevGuide and NeXTSTEP, InterfaceBuilder, and Objective-C.
Apple’s 45-minute video pushing Macintosh Quadras to engineers. “Now with a Macintosh user interface, [AutoCAD] Release 11…” … no longer feels like a hastily-ported DOS product!
The complete Bill Gates talk from 1989 at the University of Waterloo’s Computer Science Club.
John Walker’s fascinating history of Autodesk and AutoCAD: The Autodesk File. Macintosh story and awesome kludge. I can’t believe that worked, and that they shipped it! More Autodesk history.
AutoCAD coverage in Macworld: initial announcement (single window-only and no clipboard support!), advert, one user’s opinion, user hostility, and gaining a friendlier user interface before Macintosh support was dropped altogether until 2010.
