Apple's Jon Rubinstein

Sunday April 23, 2000 10:17 am PDT by Arnold Kim

MacNN posted this link from the February 2000 Issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine. It's an article about Jon Rubinstein, Apple's head of hardware engineering.

Not a typical interview, this profile follows Rubinstein's career from college up to being recruited by Jobs for NeXT and then Apple. A great article.

"For Rubinstein, Apple's appeal was simple: it was the last company doing high-volume, leading-edge computer systems. "
