Andy Hertzfeld's site Folklore.org is now hosted by the Computer History Museum (where I work). What a treasure trove the site is.
Super excited that Andy - and quite a few other key Macintosh folks -- are going to be on stage at CHM on Wednesday for the Macintosh 40th Anniversary event.
It's at capacity in-person, but sign up to watch online (free) at https://computerhistory.org/events/insanely-great/
PS: if you're in the Bay Area stop by to see our ongoing Mac pop-up exhibit anytime too: https://computerhistory.org/exhibits/hello-the-mac-at-40/
Great to see the About page says the site was transferred to the Computer History Museum
It is sad that additional Points of View were never added. Would have loved to read a Folklore site on Microsoft, Atari, etc from that eta
I suppose we could find the exact image if it is a Barks, though I'm not currently up to the task of going through them all.
Don Rosa would probably know.
Now that's cold calling without any introduction whatsoever ...
Does someone know where he is now?
He's still talked about fondly in the various Apple II user groups, his legacy looms large. Here's a page written about him after his passing, on the Kanasfest site. (Kansasfest is the largest annual Apple II convention) https://www.kansasfest.org/2014/11/remembering-bob-bishop/
