In April of 1985 I’d hired a replacement to succeed me as head of the Mac/Lisa User Education Group, and had moved over to Guy Kawasaki’s staff to run the Developer team (Evangelism, Developer Marketing, Tech Pubs, and Developer Tech Support). The idea was that I would take over Developer when Guy got his business plan approved to spin out Apple apps as a separate company.

It had been a pretty brutal grind from the Mac intro to shipping Lisa 7/7 to the 512Ke and I needed a break. 1/

@Cdespinosa Fascinating read, wow what a chaotic way to roll into vacation. I know many people don't think often about Apple's pre "Steve return" history, but I am incredibly fond of all the work you guys did in the late 80s and early 90s. Just amazing stuff given the odd market forces in play, still have my Mac SE/30 from 1990 and it still works great!
