My first meeting with the ATKINSON BILL was unreliable. November November 1983 and Reporting for the lighthouse atladingI acquired access to the team construction machinesh, expected to launch the beginning of the next year. They all kept me to say, “wait to meet the bill and andy,” with reference to atkinson and andy hertzfeld, two mac software writers. This is what I wrote about the meet in my book, Insanely great:
I met atkinson’s bill first. A high partner with a hairless hair, a bustache, and bee the Turkish eyes, had the blue intensity, had the braceful intention in one of his forethren Vetnam. Like all others in the room, wore jeans and a t-shirt. “You want to see a bug?” I asked. Has pulled in their cubic and indicated to his macintosh. Screen completion was an incredibly detailed drawing of an insect. Asa beautiful, something to be able to see on a searched lability station of a research, but not on a personal computer. Atkinson laughed at his joke, so you get very serious, talking in an intense close flashing he gave their words a reverential weight. “The barrier between words and photos is broken”, he said. “So far the world’s world has been a sacred club. As the end China. Now it is for everyday use.”
Atkinson was right. Their contributions to the Macintosh were critical to that discovery that I whispered in the Apple Office known as Bandley 3th one. A few years after you have a single program contribiary with a program called hypercard, which oran the Word wed. Through all, held his energy and jaica de live, and becomes an inspiration for all that change the world through the code. June 5th of June, died after a wide disease. Was 74.
Atkinson had never planned to become a pioneer in personal computing. As a graduate student, studied the science or neurobiology at Washington University. But when he met an Apple II in 1977, he gained the love, and went to work for the company that built a year later. Was the number of employee 51. In 1979, it was between the old group that for shots at the Xerox Parc and blows the interface of the degin degin. It has become work to translate that fututoristic technology to consumer, work in Apple Lisa project. In the process, consulted several conditions that also persist to today’s computers, as the menu. Atkinson also created QuickDraw, an earth technology to draw effectively in a screen. One of those objects were the “round” box with rounded corners that will become parts of the computing experience of all. Atkinson he had resisted the idea Until the jobs barefoot around the block and see all the signs of traffic and other objects with rounded corners.
When the jobs take the other Hertzfeld project, who was hunting in the interface, I was hunting, it has consisted the bills for the Mac: Bill atkinson made, I took, and nothing else. ” said. Akinson, which had become disposed of the lisa’s lisa’s lisa’s high version of a more affortable version of the mac’s mac-handed users on the mac
After the slaughter launched, the team began to wake up. Atkinson had the Apple’s partner title, who gave them freedom to pursue the projects of the passers. Started working on something magic slate-a device with a high-resolution screen that weighed under a pound and could be controlled by a stylus and swipes on a tap screen. In deceased, you match the ipad 25 years. But technology was not ready to create something threatened and powerful (atkinson soratta so he could taste you “, once he told me:” Once H’Undeva.
