MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

How come you don't see people making documentaries about M$? It's strange, isn't it? A convicted monopolist does not get to tell its side of the story.

"He had a strong association with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in the beginning..."

Even, Steve Jobs has never really be the founder of the Mac... it's more about people like Bill Atkinson, etc.

I'm really looking forward to the documentary. Definitely adding this one to my dvd collection.

If you want to interview someone about the Mac, go for Jef Raskin... he was THE one,
Before Jobs took over the project and at the same occasion all of the pride and recognition for it.

I think it is interesting how the masses have put this upon Steve Jobs... He has never made any claim about being the ONLY person involved... To my knowledge at least. He always seems to be gracious and supportive of the team. Sure he has an ego and a bit of arrogance, I would too if I were in his billion dollar shoes. The masses give Jobs the recognition, I don't think he goes out and demands it or directs it to him.

Yeah, I heard they tried for Raskin, but, uh, he was all booked up:

The man who named Apple’s Macintosh, GUI pioneer Jef Raskin dies at 61 - February 27, 2005

It's even crazier than that... Steve Jobs was fighting to Mac project and supporting LISA.
Only when LISA tanked, he took it over. That said, as Fred Mertz pointed, Jef Raskin is died in 2005.

"Steve Jobs was fighting to Mac project and supporting LISA."

Um, no.

The Lisa project was started in 1978 and by 1982, Jobs was thrown off the Lisa project so he moved over to the Macintosh project.

Thanks 'Carl H' and MDN. I'll definitely have to get this one.

I wonder if this movie will eventually make it to iTunes Music Store?

G4Dualie,

It would be interesting to know what ever happened to all of those people. I hope they all turned out well.

@ G4Dualle

"...and two others."

William Gates and Steve Ballmer?

Would you believe, Tom and Jerry?

Aug 05, 08 - 11:44 am Comment from: G4Dualie

Their signatures are so cryptic you can't read 'em...

Perfect time to pull Ron Wayne's name back into the limelight, now that Batman is such a hit....

for some history and information on "what ever happened to all of those people", check out Andy Hertzfeld's book (with contributions by many on the list)

dp,

Thanks. I think I remember that book being mentioned in one of the Mac magazines some time ago, and the cover looks familiar.

Perhaps has been around already, but .... just in case
