Folklore.org has a collection of short stories about the development of the original Macintosh and the people who created it. There are 118 stories in total, but the ones I chose to link to are the Susan Kare ones. She was the designer of most of the icons and fonts for the Macintosh. She is the one who gave the Mac its personality and image. She then worked at NeXT (Steve Jobs business after Apple and the basis on which OSX was built) but I’m not sure what she actually did there. Anyway, she is a very cool graphic designer and I am a little bit jealous. For a little more of nostalgia, visit also Kare’s portfolio.
