The legend of Macintosh
According to
"Under the apple tree" as will be seen later, Mr. Yutaka Saito, who is
pursuing the process of apple localizing into Japanese, summarized the
interview conducted from the beginning of November 1993 until the end of
December into a book.
It consists of
12 interviews including Woz, Jeff Ruskin,
Jean Couch, Bill Atkinson, etc., and the story behind the development is
summarized in an interactive format.
Although this
book was published in 1996, it is a book that summarizes "Macintosh
legend, developer's long interview + material collection" based on
OpenBook (CD-ROM) released right after the interview in February 1994.
Also on Macworld Japan magazine’s
March 1994 issue on the basis of the coverage, it is announced as
"Complete verification" Macintosh legend ".
In May 1993, Mr. Kodaira released a photo collection called "Silicon Road", which is also wonderful achievement. |
The Macintosh legend was reissued
from Mainichi Communication as "Truth of the birth of the Macintosh legend
1" in 2003.
It is a revised
reprint edition, at the beginning the author added to note "for revised
reprint Version", and an acknowledgment added at the end of the book, and
at the beginning, he concluded that "This book is a record of birth of
thinking tool that we are relying every day.” Book: The legend of Macintosh, Yutaka Saito, published in February 1996, ASCII Corporation, 232 pages, A5 version. Magazine: Macworld Japan, March 1994 issue, Fusosha Publishing Inc. CD - ROM: Mackintosh legend, developer 's long interview collection + document collection, February 1994, Open Book corporation.

It was
reprinted as “Macintosh legend 2 under the apple tree” in October 2003 at
the same time of publishing "Truth of the birth of the Macintosh legend
1".
At the end of
the book, "Further decades (For the reprint edition)” from the return of
Jobs in December 1996 to MACOSX has been added.
I think that it is wonderful that
these books that are out of print will be reissued after a while. Macintosh legend 2 Under the apple tree, Yutaka Saito, published in October 2003, Mainichi Communications Co., Ltd., 279 pages, A5 edition. |
