It was really fun to listen to the accounts from @Cdespinosa and the other long-time Apple folks about those startup days. I've seen it from two sides: as a teenager, I remember taking my Atari 2600 to Sunnyvale for repair and being disappointment at how... normal a video game office would be. At my last startup, I encouraged the initial gang to return to our first office ("the startup dorm") one lunchtime to keep in mind those first several months of planning what we would build.
The startup didn't quite end the way we hoped, but I liked the thought of "someday we're going to tell stories about this place."
