Some folklore for Friday from Folklore.org by Andy Hertzfeld. It Begins:
"The Macintosh team had a reputation for being spoiled, which was certainly true by the middle of 1984, but it wasn't always the case. Even though Steve Jobs was fond of bragging that the Mac designers were Apple's best engineers, that wasn't necessarily reflected in their compensation.
Two weeks before I transfered to the Mac team after a shake-up in the Apple II group in February 1981 (see Black Wednesday) , I received my regular six month review and was slated for a nominal raise in salary, from $22,000/year to $24,000. I thought that I should still get my raise, even though I had switched groups, so after working on the Mac for a few weeks I approached my new manager Bud Tribble about it. "

A bit o' the old 'lore at Folklore.org by Andy Hertzfeld. It Begins:
"The Mac team held another off-site retreat in Carmel in January 1983, just after the Lisa introduction (see Credit Where Due). Steve Jobs began the retreat with three 'Sayings from Chairman Jobs', intended to inspire the team and set the tone for the meeting. The sayings were:
1. Real artists ship.
2. It's better to be a pirate than join the navy.
3. Mac in a book by 1986. "
