I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.

Scotty heard that I was thinking about quitting Apple because of his actions, so he called me into his office and asked what it would take for me to stay? I said, maybe if I could work on the Mac project, which Steve had just taken over from Jef Raskin.

In fact when I first got my Apple II the first thing I did was turn it on and off, on and off, just because I had the power to do so, which I'd never had on a computer before.

I left Apple in April of 1984, pretty soon after the introduction of the Mac.
