Thanks oisin, it's a beautiful story and his ex-wife gave me permission to share.
- isoprophlex 11mo agoIt is, indeed. Thanks for writing that up, it touched me. And thanks for being the historian of our culture-that-eschews culture (or so it seems to me sometimes, that tech tries to exist in a perennial present without acknowledging it's roots and history)
- hellojohnbuck 11mo agothanks isoprophlex for the acknowledgment. so many of the folks that i have interviewed, contributed so much to making tech or a product better for all. especially at or around apple. they receieved none of the credit that the 'names' got. ;-) you know who i mean.
- daniel_reetz 11mo agoA huge number of us labor behind the scenes with no public acknowledgment or credit. For each idea brought to life we might hope for -at most- an epitaph carved in expired patent claims. This story is touching.
- hellojohnbuck 11mo agothanks daniel. i swapped a few emails with stephen's ex-wife and they melted my heart. i asked if she was OK with sharing this story of a humble genius with the wider world and she said, yes.
- btreecat 11mo agoThank you both!
