Black Wednesday
Andy Hertzfeld at Folklore.org recounts a dreary day on the Apple II Engineering team that freed him up to work on the Macintosh project.
He begins:
"I could tell there was something wrong from the moment I stepped into the building, on the morning of Wednesday, February 25th, 1981. Instead of the normal office buzz, there was a muted sadness hanging in the air. People were standing around, huddled in small groups. I ran into Donn Denman, who had a cubicle near mine, and asked him what was going on."
