Tom Ryan recalls:

“I quit HP for Apple and it was a step backward. The engineers were programming the MacOS on Macs! Crazy. I'd stepped away from an HP workstation with 32 Mb RAM, a large monitor, the latest processor, and I’m being asked to code on this little 8-inch Mac screen with no memory.

The upside was that the Mac OS team was small and tight. In meetings, we could all fit on the floor. Everybody knew everybody. The opportunity to change the world was there.”
