Customer Reviews
Great history lessons
I’m a mac nerd hobby-ist and definitely not a pro, and this podcast puts a longer arc on Apple history: pre-iphone, pre-apple ascendance, pre-dotcom, pre-internet. The guests are real characters telling an honest story. Great biographical material. I wish they came more frequently.
Great for history buffs in the mac dev world.
The episodes are a great track though the history of the Macintosh Development world from the memory of the developers who lived in the trenches. Many references to the great old dev days where many things were tried and some even worked. Think C, Think Pascal, MPW etc. Combine this with interesting stories. I just hope they can keep the content coming.
