Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories

Listen to TWiT? Have a heavily dog-eared copy of Adam Barr's Proudly Serving My Corporate Masters? Often point out how parts of your real life reflect something in The Soul of a New Machine? Then you probably have heard of Andy Hertzfeld, a.k.a., the first Macintosh programmer ever. Andy has some really great stories, and his online archive of old school Mac tales is found at Folklore.org.

A lot of early personal computing history is on the verge of being lost as these founding fathers move onto other projects. Hertzfeld and Robert Cringely are working to write this stuff down on the Internet. I suppose Bill Joy, another NerdTV interviewee, is content to build his UltraBoat.

Millionaires and their hobbies.
