Chris Espinosa on…

  • discovering computers in high school
  • the Homebrew Computer Club
  • unusual user group personalities
  • “after school Apple II demo time” at Apple headquarters
  • the mad dash to rewrite the Apple II manual
  • the product documentation conundrum
  • the open secret about the LaserWriter driver in early 1985
  • how Caroline Rose and others drove simplicity in Macintosh software development

    • Original text from the “Making the Macintosh” exhibit at Stanford University Library. Original tape available if you’re in the neighbourhood and feel like preserving it and uploading it to archive.org. :-)

    More Chris Espinosa: on Twitter and Tumblr with some early Apple history tidbits [1, 2, 3].

    My favourite: Chris gently walking you through an upgrade to System 7 while highlighting its advantages over Windows 3.0.
