Macintosh. Macosx. Rhapsody. Apple2. Itunes. Apple Lisa Operating System Reference Manual (PDF, 1983) The Apple Lisa from 1983 was the first consumer-class computer with a graphical user interface and significantly more advanced than the 1984 Macintosh, which had a similar UI, but a comparatively primitive underlying OS. Here, I present a searchable PDF of the rare “Operating System Reference Manual for the Lisa” (1983), as well as a quick overview of the OS and how it compares to UNIX. “Operating System Reference Manual for the Lisa” (1983)(PDF, 188 pages, 6.2 MB) The OS Reference Manual is actually volume 3 of 3 of the Lisa Pascal documentation. As the last page states, the book was typeset on a Lisa and printed on a dot matrix printer. I also converted the typewriter-written draft version from lisa.sunder.net into a searchable PDF: “Lisa Operating System Reference Manual” (Draft March 1982)(PDF, 113 pages, 1.2 MB) In its spirit, the Lisa Operating System resembles UNIX a lot, and its features and details were pretty much on par with UNIX systems from that time.

Tom Williams: Hired by Apple at 14. His full story. I was recently in Vancouver Canada for a week, considering moving there, when my friend Ariel Hyatt said, “You have to meet this amazing guy Tom Williams. He got hired by Apple when he was only 14. I think the company had to, like, legally adopt him to do it. He's a go-getter like you. Plus his wife, Jessie is an awesome country artist.” I met Tom for dinner, loved his story, and wanted to share it with everyone. Especially in this environment of 10%-25% unemployment, his story and philosophy have some inspiring lessons about how to get a job or make huge deals despite a lack of experience.
So I recorded a phone call and let him tell his tale in his own words: My mom calls this story my elaborate form of running away from home, except it doesn’t have a stick and a kerchief with it. I grew up in a very normal, middle class family in Victoria. And at the same time, my parents, in the summer break between 6th and 7th grade, announced that they were getting separated.
Reading Apple ][ DOS 3.3 Disk Images with Python. Folklore: An Introduction to Burrell Smith. I love hearing and reading stories about the people who made great things happen. In much the same way that I enjoyed “Classic Feynman” and shared the book with many friends, I share with you the beginning of the Apple Macintosh. Andy Hertzfeld’s website, Folklore.org, chronicles the early days of Apple Computer and the creation of the Macintosh. It does more than that though, it brings back all the fun had in creating it, and gives us a first look in the original Cult of Mac: its creators. Quite a few of the stories follow Burrell Smith. Originally hired as an Apple II service technician, Burrell was an amazing hardware engineer and generally crazy guy. It was his hardware and circuitry work that made the original Macintosh a reality. “I’ll Be Your Best Friend” introduces you to one of the key men behind the Mac through his introduction to Andy Hertzfeld: I’ll Be Your Best Friend [Folklore.org] Source folklore.org”Related.
Inside Macintosh Volumes I, II, III (PDF) The SE/30 That Does It All: Interview With An Expert Vintage Mac. James Wages is a man on a mission. Where you and I might see a tired old computer that’s not much use to anyone anymore, he sees a decent machine with plenty of potential. The results of his tinkering are spectacular; this ancient SE/30 is in regular use by the Wages family, for writing things, drawing things, and (most impressively, I think) getting online. This little puppy is as maxed out as an SE/30 can get. These machines originally appeared in 1989, running System 6 and costing only $6,500.
Blimey. This machine was built before the web was invented, but he’s got it surfing quite satisfactorily. I asked him. Take it away, James: “It connects to the net via its MacCon PDS Ethernet card. Wonderful stuff. “I do most of my main email work in Entourage on my G4, so I don’t use my SE/30 so much for that. This machine has been through a lot of upgrading. “I filled all the slots with 16MB SIMMs to give the SE/30 128MB RAM, the maximum the machine allows. All I can say is: wow. Related.
