Hertzfeld’s Story
Dropped into Border’s on the way back to the hotel tonight (on site somewhere near Detroit) and cruised the Mac section. Lots of books on the previous versions of things.. and Panther.. I already have a good Panther book (O’Reilly’s “OS X Missing Manual, Panther Edition.. if you run Panther you should have it)… and Tiger is out soon.
I did find something interesting, though. “Revolution in the Valley”… Andy Hertzfeld’s story of the creation of the macintosh. I read a very favourable review in one of the Mac mags I pick up occasionally, so I grabbed it… I’m just through the intro, but it looks great. It will be interesting to compare it with other tellings of that tale (Steven Levy’s “Insanely Great”, and Steve Jobs’ biography “The Journey is the Reward”). I’ll write a review when I’m finished with it.
