Apple History At folklore.org

Posted by timothy on from the fun-reading dept.

oaklybonn writes "Andy Hertzfeld seems to be the primary author on this fascinating site, which details many of his experiences in the Macintosh (Bicycle??) development efforts. It includes such choice commentary as: "we were amazed that such a thoroughly bad game could be co-authored by Microsoft's co-founder, and that he would actually want to take credit for it in the comments.", on a page describing a game bundled with the original IBM PC." Reader themexican adds "As a plus, Hertzfeld notes in the faq that the python code running the well-designed and easy to navigate site will be made public in the near future."

    Well, the site is /.'d, but is he talking about Bill Gates?

    The same Bill Gates whose Harvard days DOS code was examined by Byte magazine and declared brilliant?

    Oh and all you guys got into Harvard too, right?

    For a moment, I confused Andy with Don Hertzfeldt.

    I've been looking at a few of these archive sites. But, none of them allow you to search through their database with any sorting options. I'd like to be able to say show me all the Macs that can run OS X. Or Show me all the G3's that can run OS X.

    I'm looking to get the cheapest Mac that runs Darwin. I wanna do some Darwin hacking.

    No joke.
    This makes me wonder why this isn't an article here at slashdot: it's definitely news for nerds and it involves important political developments.

      Have you read the article? While your accessment of its contents isn't wholly untrue, it's still a bit misleading. Still, I haven't been keeping up with The Register enough recently, thanks for the prod in the direction of doing so ;).
