Been so much random things written about Apple over the years (and Jobs), and good or bad I’ve learnt to only listen to first hand accounts.</p><p>Must have been a magical time those years from the Apple 1 to Jobs getting ousted.

I figure demand for the bundle over the single system forced them to do stickers and coupon codes. But yes saving $30 was def a big part of my calculus.</p>

<p>Bill Atkinson had a unique vision. Someone else just as unusual would have had to come along to encode the ideas he had into graphical expressions. They were not there for the taking, obvious in retrospect. Apple had several such people, unique in their realms, who somehow were able to align what they created into singular products.</p>
