I was at HP from 1982 to 1989 then moved over to Apple Evangelism.
In 1987 I transferred to HP Corporate Engineering. I was using a Mac + I 
brought over from the division I had worked in and had a Laserwriter. 
One interesting thing was the Corporate engineering industrial design 
group were all using the latest version of Macs and Laser writers to 
create the overall HP product look and packaging. While there I started 
the HP Mac users group. At Apple I was the hardware compatibility 
Evangelist, who focused on having third party products compatible with 
new versions of Macintosh on the day New Macs were
introduced. I was the one who made sure that Pagemaker and Illustator 
worked on the new Macs.  I was there from 1989 - 1998 when Steve remade 
Apple into his own image and laid off entire R&D groups who were working 
on products that did not fit his view of Apple.
