The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Wrote much of the original Macintosh ROM and User Interface Toolbox, and designed now-standard elements like the Control Panel and Scrapbook.
  • Built the icon and font editors that let Susan Kare create the Mac's icons, and later founded folklore.org to preserve the team's stories.

Apple

Macintosh System Software

Joined the Mac team in February 1981; wrote large parts of the Mac's system software and ROM.

Why

Why we celebrate them.

You not only wrote the Mac's soul in code, you saved the memory of how it was made. Thank you for keeping the folklore alive for all of us.
