Apple Computer: An Interview With Steve Wozniak
Another hidden treasure at atarimagazines.com. This time Danny Goodman interviews Steve Wozniak in Creative Computing Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 11/November, 1984/Page 285.
From the article:
"At the extravagant unveiling of Apple's IIc computer last April, the legend of Apple's humble beginnings was documented in a special historical exhibit. Vintage photographs of two young, blue-jeaned, beaded, and shaggy haired computer freaks surrounded other memorabilia, including the wood-cased Apple 1 computer, a foreunner of the personal computing revolution."
Enjoy!

The Secrets of ProDOS
This article is reprinted from The Australian Apple Review - June 1987, by Gareth Powell. It details the joy that was and is ProDOS. From the article:
"As the Apple progressed forward so did the operating system until we arrived at ProDOS which is, in effect, a two level operating system. At its highest level it is a sophisticated tool which programmers can and do access to make the Apple run better/faster/smarter. At another level it is an operating system which offers a series of commands to the normal user which helps improve the interface between user and computer or, slightly less pompously, lets you get the best out of your Apple."

Apple's Twiggy Disks
This page explains the history of the Twiggy drive and disks which were used in the original Lisa 1 and Macintosh prototypes, and includes images of the disks and packaging.
From the page:
"In the early '80s, Apple fell victim to a serious case of NIH Syndrome (Not Invented Here), and decided to manufacture their own disk drives. Not content to be industry compatible, instead they designed what they believed to be leading-edge drives: the Twiggy floppy drive and the Widget hard drive."
