Thanks to Guy Kawaski for heads-up on recent interviews with Apple founder Steve Wozniak and other ex-Apple nobility.
It is interesting to see that Guy himself worked as an Apple Technology evangelist.
Steve Wozniak was and still is a techie hero. I remember regularly reading in BYTE magazine in the mid-eighties (I was in my teens) of the on-going developments at Apple Computer.
Apple has always typified the techies dream. The passion and pride for the innovative technology and products was powerful but often over-bearing.
In many cases this passion has made the company to be more product/technology focussed rather than market focussed. Its early success in the computing world created a great momentum in the company that it was hard to kill even with the many product/market blunders throughout the years.
Steve Jobs return to Apple with a seemingly more commercial focus that in his previous term provided a great boost. Its good to see Apple still pushing the innovation envelope and being commercially successful also.
I started my career developing on Macs. I still have one of the first Colour Mac II’s made, a Mac Plus and one of the first Laptops (luggables).
