The early days of the Apple Macintosh computer!

I found this great website that has over 100 stories of the early development days of the Apple Macintosh computer. The site contains the personal stories from the people who actually put their blood, sweat and tears into creating one of the first personal GUI Operating Systems.

I was 10 years old when all this was going down and I was really into computers, but not Apple computers. In fact, the first Mac that I bought was when I was 30! I actually hated the Mac when I was growing up. Not because I was a PC/Microsoft fanboy, but because I was a big Commodore 64/128/Amiga lover. Now that I have a new respect for using the Mac, it great to read how things really began!

It’s really quiet an interesting read on how different the computer industry was and yet how it’s still the same.

I love the stories about how Steve Jobs was so fanatical and how he was perceived with the people that worked for him. The reference’s to Steve Job’s Reality Distortion was funny as hell and I can see this persona in Steve Jobs even today. It’s probably not has bad, but heck, that’s what make Steve jobs, well Steve Jobs!

Many key points from the movie Pirates of the Silicon Valley must have been referenced from these writtings.

The site is called Folklore. Even if your not a Apple/Steve Jobs/Mac fan, there are still several things that happenned that changed the way we use computers today. Did you know that the OK button that we use everyday was first called the DO IT Button? Check it out!
