I was in Cupertino the day that Sculley was fired and hundreds of Apple
people got laid off. Weird experience. It was, in retrospect, the day that
sweet pea (and Newton for that matter) died.
I was cooking-up grand plans for applications from games to education to
artificial intelligence to industrial applications (infrared in factories
for example). We had wearable models, Industrial models, student versions
and gaming models on the boards.
As an early new-media guy, I was always a big Mac advocate until I went to
high-level board meetings at Apple and realized it was just another
screwed-up politically driven corporation....
I still have one of the few prototypes.
