<div>I started working at Apple in 1980 and we sold a 24k or 36k
or 48k integer Apple computers. Before the Apple II and later
the Apple II plus. We sold a Panasonic cassette player to record
data along with Sanyo monitor and Centronix printer, because
Apple didn't have any other products yet. Later that year
Wozniak finished the disc drive controller card so we started
selling 5 1/2 floppy disc drives. </div>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">I worked there for almost 14 years
through a LOT of changes, most significant I was one of 4 people
on the Desktop Publishing Marketing team when the iMac was
introduced along with the Apple LaserWriter printer with
postscript, and applications such as Pagemaker, Illustrator. </div>

I was at HP from 1982 to 1989 then moved over to Apple Evangelism.<br>
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 <br>
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. <br>
