The book mentioned in the article, AppleDesign, is full of great photos (of prototypes and shipped products) and interesting stories from that era. It covers the entire Frog Design era in great detail. Highly recommended, but unfortunately quite expensive these days.

Agreed. I looked at the photos and my immediate visceral reaction was to think "Wow, that's beautiful."

for such an influential design firm, i'm dissapointed in how uninteresting their website design is

I've kept every single computer I've used since 1978, a veritable collection of over 40 machines.

I still lust for an Apple IIc. Never had one, my eyes go boink whenever I see one in the wild.
