Interesting to hear what Guy had to say in this podcast:

Guy and other's on Apple's 30th Birthday

One bit that I thought I was interesting on what he had to say when he was evangelising in 1983. They went to sofwtare developers and ask them to develop for the Mac, because IBM at the time was developing everything in house (eg edu titles, word processors etc). So developers were discouraged from developing for the PC because IBM would push them out of the market. Gee, how times have changed at Apple :-)

Another interview of interest was that with John Scully. Quite an eye opener, as Scully did not stop praising Steve, but did not want to answer any questions in regards to his personal relationship with Steve then or now. He even went on to say that he could not really run Apple without Steve.

Worth a listen folks!

I enjoyed listening to all of them, great little series. I espically liked when Guy was was asked, "What was it like being a Mac evangelist?" and he replied with, "It was like being paid to go to Disneyland everyday. I loved it."
