A bit of folklore from Folklore.org by Andy Hertzfeld. In this compelling article, Andy recounts his relationship with the quirky Burrell Smith. Andy writes:
"Toward the end of my first week as an Apple employee in August 1979, I noticed that someone had left a black binder on my desk, with a hand-written title that read, "Apple II: Principles of Operation". It contained a brilliant, concise description of how the Apple II hardware worked, reverently explaining details of Woz's epic, creative design hacks, in a clearer fashion than I'd ever read before. I didn't know who left it there, but the title page said it was written by 'Burrell C. Smith'."
