I wanted to share this as I have just finished interviewing former Apple senior engineer Ron Johnston (ex Lisa, Spartacus and A/UX).

After a long chat he said, 'I have one more story'.

We have all probably heard this story - from a distance, but as they say - Ron was there.

thanks for the positive vibes yann, that's a nice touch

hi kilibe,

thanks for your interest.

i have concentrated on apple in the era when jobs isn't there to cancel or squash ideas and invention. many folks, not unlike stephen, come out of the woodwork. and i have slowly connected with them.

last week i documented (through interviews) tom gilley's work on apple's first hand-held pen-driven tablet called scribe. this included innovation and invention of suppressing electro mmagnetic interference, removng contemporary tech's weight, stretching battery output and so forth - as well as writing a slimmed down version of the mac/os and handwriting recognition rather than writing one completely from scratch (which was what newton/dylan) were doing.

so there's a lot of conversations to document.

i do like the 'lighting up the lamps'

Carlsen's TIFF extensibility was what Milne and Lentczner used as a guiding principal when building AIFF, as did Leak on QuickTime years later.

well said svat. without laboring the point, "once you know - you know". until then it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack - and some people do not want to be found.

thank you sethx
