Folklore.org - History of Mac

Finished reading it all about 6hrs ago. Very interesting read, well worth your time if you want to know more about the history of the Macintosh and some insights into Steve Jobs.

In the spirit of Studs Terkel and Howard Zinn.

"A Peoples' History of Apple"

Yeah!!!

:)

Fabulous - maybe they should get endorsed by Apple

I found this to be an amazing site, with a surprising amount of candid details and memories about the earilier days of Apple.

The site seems to be getting MR'd (rather than /.'d) as it's running a little slower than the last time I was there.

i dont care. i want new hardware.

I read all 70 articles yesterday. I found it very interesting to read, and it has a ton of info about the early days of Apple, and how Steve Jobs works and thinks. Its really funny how its constantly mentioned in the are articles that everyone else feared him.

I also found it amusing how Steve complained about the layout of the original Macintosh motherboard, cause the memory chips weren't "pretty enough".

I've been perusing the articles and find them to be very entertaining reads.

Kudos to the site creator for putting together some create pieces of macintosh history.

Does it mention the story of how Steve Jobs lied to Woz about the amount of a large contract sale and cheated Woz out of his share of the split? This was at a time when Jobs and Woz were struggling and Woz was doing all of the engineering and design work.

I think this is the story that provides the most insight into Job's character. Woz now thinks so too. It hurt him bad after he found out years later.

Wow, what a good read this will be. I'm looking forward to it.
