Here’s Bill Atkinson (and rest of team) answering questions right after the Macintosh was debuted at the Boston Computer Society in 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tQ5XwvjPmA starting at 28:25 - he demos MacPaint and more. May his memory be a blessing!
@danb hard to imagine the world of yesterday and today without his contributions.
@danb I thought I was going to scrub to the Atkinson bit. Instead was rapt for the full hour and twenty minutes. What an amazing team.
@danb oh thanks for posting that, amazing piece of history.
@danb Thank you! Thank you!
Watching this, I can feel my original sense of amazement. I can feel myself wanting to play with my own Mac.
Work got fun again.
I was there, pretty cool!
It is so moving to watch a high point of the life of someone who changed the world in a way that enriched the lives of so many. The audience reaction (of techies who know they are watching an historic milestone) lets you feel it. #billatkinson
