 Andy Hertzfeld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burrell Smith, Hertzfeld became one of the primary software architects of the Macintosh Operating System, which was considered revolutionary in its use of the graphical user interface (GUI).
Hertzfeld's Apple Computer business cards listed his title as "Software Wizard", and he wrote large portions of the Macintosh's original system software including much of the burned-in
In 1978, he bought an Apple II computer and soon began developing software for it.

 The Shape of Days: Interview with Andy Hertzfeld
Andy Hertzfeld:  Eazel's mission was to make free software easier to use, so in that sense it was an extension of our work on the Mac.
Andy Hertzfeld:  For years in the 1990s, I despaired that the software industry had fallen into a quagmire called the Microsoft monopoly, where innovation was intentionally throttled and thwarted.
Andy Hertzfeld:  General Magic was founded to pioneer a new product category that we called "personal intelligent communicators." We developed hand-held devices that are sort of like what PDAs are today, but with a stronger emphasis on communication.

Hertzfeld gave numerous - and amusing - examples of the lengths to which innovators like Steve Wozniak, working in the 70s and early 80s, would go to tweak their computer systems, in a search for better performance or just more knowledge.
Working at Apple, Andy and his compatriots moved beyond building computers for themselves; their goal was to build hardware and software simple enough for their non-technical friends and family.
But he's put in his dues elsewhere in the computer industry, having joined Apple Computers in the late 1970s, where he worked on both the Apple II and the original Macintosh.

 Andy Hertzfeld talks Folklore, open source & Apple MacMinute News
Most of Hertzfeld's time is spent on his Folklore project, which involves writing Web software for collective storytelling, and using it to tell anecdotes—LOTS of anecdotes—about the original Mac development.
The site is driven by a database that he plans to release as free software in the near future.
He also thinks Apple may have a window of opportunity to expand its computer market share, as he foresees the Windows monopoly disintegrating over the next five years.

 Hertzfeld
Hertzfeld is, of course famous in Mac circles as the man responsible for much of the Mac& Operating System and design of the Toolbox.
Hertzfeld used this technique in the instance of copy bits to two different pix maps that have different color look-up tables, a common thing on the Mac II with digitized images.
Hertzfeld changed this so that long word maps are remembered, short- circuiting the memory references involved in doing the look-up.

 oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Andy Hertzfeld
Andy Hertzfeld was a graduate student in computer science at UC Berkeley in January 1978 when he purchased one of the first Apple IIs.
Revolution in the Valley traces the development of the Macintosh computer from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its triumphant introduction in 1984 and beyond.
He quickly lost interest in grad school as he began writing programs for his Apple II, eventually leading him to join Apple Computer as a systems programmer in August 1979.

 IT Conversations: Andy Hertzfeld - Macintosh Folklore
Andy was a principal member of the original Macintosh team, writing much of the original operating system and user interface toolbox for Apple's revolutionary computer.
In January, he published them online at Folklore.org, in time for the Mac's twentieth birthday, using software that he wrote to enable a community of authors to create interlinked anecdotes, classified by topic and characters.
Not only will you learn how the Mac came to be, but you'll also gain a clearer understanding of the values that underly the platform, which will help clarify the decisions that Apple makes today.

 Andy Hertzfeld Part II – Microsoft, Aqua and greed The Register
But he was dabbling with computers in the late 70s, a time when most software was free - as in speech as well as beer.
But since we were on a roll, conversation ranged far and wide, and we reckon these thoughts from the chap who regularly rates a mention with Babbage and Shockley in some computer timelines are worth sharing with you.
Says Hertzfeld: "The thing you notice is how obsessed by money he was.

When Andy, as a computer science student at Berkeley, bought an Apple II in 1977, it changed his life.
Andy would help build its programming toolbox and much of its new interface.
Still, as the Mac headed towards completion, Andy came to understand that it would be difficult for him to thrive in a corporate environment.

Andy wrote the software for Folklore, which allows readers to become participants by commenting on stories or even contributing their own.
Right now, there's only one project on Folklore, the development of the first Macintosh computer, but others will be added.
His enthusiastic and warm personality comes through fully in his terrific writing (as it does in his software).

 Amazon.com: Books: Revolution in The Valley
That's because author Andy Hertzfeld was a core member of the team that built the Macintosh system software, and a key creator of the Mac's radically new user interface software.
In 1978, Hertzfeld's world was rocked by his purchase of an Apple II; by the next year, he was working for the fledgling company on the nascent Mac as a software engineer, co-writing the Mac's operating system.
This book was an excellent snapshot into a revolutionary period in time at Apple.

 MacDevCenter.com: The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac was Made -- An Interview with Andy Hertzfeld
During his years in Cupertino, Andy worked closely with, and befriended many Apple employees who are now legends in personal computing history.
My talk was about the importance of making open source software easier to use, but I did try to put it in a historical perspective and consequently told a lot of anecdotes about working at Apple, some of which made it into my book.
Andy Hertzfeld : I don't have room to write a complete anecdote in this interview, and I plan to eventually add the Woz stories to the Folklore site, so I don't want to sap my energy for doing that.

 Slashdot Making Linux Easy With Eazel's Andy Hertzfeld
Andy: Well, but the new fighter on the horizon, from my point of view, is not so much that it's UNIX, but it's a new and better business model, a new and better paradigm for developing software, and that's really exciting.
Andy: One of the big problems in terms of usability and Open Source software is that no systematic user testing has ever been done.
Andy: What I would say is that our design values have remained pretty consistent.What we think is important is the same.

 Multifaceted history of the Mac from Andy Hertzfeld and co
Back in the early 1980s, he and his partner Andy Hertzfeld led the team at Apple Computer Co. that came up with the Macintosh user interface, one that literally changed the face of computing forever.
Original Mac team member Andy Hertzfeld says the Linux desktop environment is "already there" for the most common uses - Web browsing and email.

 Wired News: Inside the Mac Revolution
Hertzfeld went on to join Apple Computer as an engineer, and eventually became a key member of the Macintosh development team -- a motley crew of pirate programmers whose maverick project has defined personal computing.
And though the making of the Mac is an oft-told tale, Hertzfeld, who helped design the Mac's system software, presents it from a unique insider's view, and in an entertaining and engaging voice.
But there are also lesser-celebrated actors, like Hertzfeld's friend Burrell Smith, a hardware engineer responsible for much of the Mac's circuitry.

 An Interview With Andy Hertzfeld
Eazel's first project, Nautilus, is one of the first open source development projects to aim for commercial success; its innovative file and system management model is poised to open up the world of Linux to a much wider audience.
Our early Apple computers were hobby computers, and there were hardly any peripherals available - we had to create our own video and storage interfaces, etc., in order to use the things.
Andy Hertzfeld was a member of the original Apple Macintosh team back in 1981, at which time he designed and implemented much of the original Macintosh system software.

 Wired News: Mac's Original Designer Dies
Raskin, who worked as a computer science professor before joining Apple, was well aware of the research being done in computer interfaces at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center.
When the Mac was unveiled in 1984, it radically changed the personal computer industry.
"His role on the Macintosh was the initiator of the project, so it wouldn't be here if it weren't for him," said Andy Hertzfeld, an early Mac team member.

 Slashdot Interview With Mac Co-Creator Andy Hertzfeld
I typically agree but it is good to note that a number of tech friends interested in the history of computers know his name so perhaps the knowledge won't get totally lost.
He discusses his recent book, Revolution in the Valley as well as sharing some anecdotes about his time at Apple developing the Macintosh personal computer.
The '84 Byte would be a great thing to (re)read along with Hertzfeld's book, to put this in historical perspective.

 HMAUS Signal - Reviews - Revolution in the Valley
First, none of the essays exceeds five pages (roughly the length of my attention span), so I easily breezed through ninety pages of historical material without losing interest.
This is, of course, due to the fact that Hertzfeld was only at Apple from 1979 to 1984, so here we are, twenty years later, still reminiscing about what it was like to invent the original Mac.
Second, because of the way Hertzfeld collected these stories, I truly believe that this book is not an attempt to re-write history so as to exalt himself as the God of Macintosh.

 "Revolution in the Valley" by Andy Hertzfeld
Andy's stories, which you can also find on Folklore.org (the proto-version of the book), are short and targeted, and although they are in chronological order, they don't really seem to connect with each other.
Years ago, I enjoyed Tracy Kidder's Pulitzer Prize winning "The Soul of a New Machine", the story of the development of Data General's first 16-bit desktop (Eagle) to compete with Digital Equipment's PDP-8.
Andy Hertzfeld's "Revolution in the Valley" has the same flavor for me, although not at the Pulitzer Prize level.

The book has received high critical acclaim, but Hertzfeld's decision to write the entire book in iambic pentameter left this reviewer cold.
