Wozniak Gives Old Friend Jobs High Marks For Technology Leadership
From the Article by Steven Burke, CRN:
"In an interview at the 8th annual CRN Industry Hall of Fame event at the Computer Museum in Mountain View, Calif., Wozniak said Apple is the best bar none at developing technology that 'fits how a human being is and thinks. I still see that going on at Apple more than any other company in the world.'"

Jef Raskin's story "Meeting Merlin"
An article at The DigiBarn Computer Museum by Mr. Raskin.
From the story:
"By the 1990s, most kids had been exposed to computers. Not everybody used them or had one, but everybody knew about them.
I was not particularly different, I ran into a computer shortly before I was to go to high school, and was dazzled by the power and potential of programming. However, by extraordinary good luck, I met Merlin. Merlin's magic warped time for me so that my introduction to computers and programming occurred in the 1950s, instead of the 1990s. This put me 40 years ahead of my time, and I was later to make use of this privilege to create the Macintosh project, which may well have jumped the progress of personal computers ahead by a few years."

The Macintosh 128K vs. A Brick
The most unique head-to-head comparison we have ever seen. No...really.

From the article:
"I have noticed that there has been a lot of talk recently about
the uses (or the lack thereof) of the Mac 128K. I have decided to put
forth a simple comparison: The Macintosh 128K versus a standard brick.
In posing such an important contrast, one must look at the criteria.
How fast is it? How portable is it? How attractive? Do you need a disk
with a system and finder to start it up? How much does it cost? Is it
user-friendly?"
