	I, Cringely . NerdTV . Transcript \| PBS
		Andy: I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.
		Andy: Well Jef deserves a lot of credit for putting together the vision of the Macintosh, which is the combination of extreme simplicity and ease of use and very high volume.
		Andy: Well it depends on the nature of the project, but I would say (to paraphrase Albert Einstein) that the ideal size of any project is as small as possible but no smaller.

	O'Reilly -- Safari Books Online - 0596007191 - 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.
		Hertzfeld doesn't gloss over conflict within the Mac team, but he also celebrates the fun times and shows why the Mac development team was a unique and very productive working environment.
		Hertzfeld has written a very straight forward account and is generous to others, giving them the praise they richly deserve.

	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.
		Hertzfeld is also involved with Mitch Kapor's Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF), an organization whose goal is to "create and gain wide adoption of Open Source application software of uncompromising quality." At OSAF, he's working on a personal information manager called Chandler, which is intended for use in everyday information and communication tasks.
		Hertzfeld's interest in the Mac is far from limited to its early history and Folklore, however.

	The Shape of Days: Interview with Andy Hertzfeld
		Andy Hertzfeld: Hartmut was a genius in many ways, but he wasn’t a very careful businessman, and unfortunately he hired a poor management team in Germany that spent the venture capital on expensive cars and a fancy office.
		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: The way that the Finder hangs for tens of seconds at a time when accessing a powered-down disk, or the way that directories are updated at exactly the wrong times — not until the user clicks on it, which is exactly when you shouldn’t be changing it.

	O'Reilly Network -- The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac was Made -- An Interview with Andy Hertzfeld
		When I first flipped through the pages of Andy Hertzfeld's Revolution in The Valley, I realized that I was not merely stepping back into the history of the Macintosh, but into the genesis of personal computing itself.
		Andy Hertzfeld: I was one of Apple's early customers, buying a 16K Apple II in January 1978, and I became so enchanted by it that I abandoned graduate school to start work at Apple in August 1979.
		Andy Hertzfeld: I went over to Steve's house recently to give him the first copy of the book that I gave to anyone, and he seemed to enjoy browsing through it and reminiscing about the good old days.

	Andy Hertzfeld's Apple performance review
		Andy Hertzfeld was and is a genius who designed and coded key software for the first Macintosh.
		Bob gave Andy’s technical protest the response which will be familiar, to programmers who are honest with themselves, as a scripted response in a system unfamiliar with its very origin, and this was that Andy was “insubordinate” and did not work well with the “team”.
		Thus Andy protested in vain to Belleville that he was merely assisting his coworkers when insisting that a technical choice wouldn't work, displaying in fact teamwork, not "insubordination" (a term which I'd thought Weinberg had disposed of, once and for all, in The Psychology of Computer Programming).

	Wired News: Inside the Mac Revolution
		Hertzfeld was nervous about the purchase at the time, but it turned out to be the best investment he ever made.
		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.
		Andy Hertzfeld: I always wanted to write the story, but there are some issues that I still feel about betraying trust and confidence.

	Andy Hertzfeld Part II – Microsoft, Aqua and greed \| The Register
		Hertzfeld it was who rediscovered and published Bill Gates legendary open memo to computer hobbyists in 1976: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software," thundered the young General Partner of 'Micro-Soft' as he (and it)then was.
		Hertzfeld says he has reservations too about the single window mode, in which only one instance of the Finder browser is allowed at any one time.
		Hertzfeld adds that it's still a work in progress - the public beta is expected any day now - and Apple has already taken account of user complaints.

		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.
		One of the more impressive stories started with Wozniak creating a series of complex software copy-protection schemes, as well as the means to break them; and culminated with the Woz trying (unsuccessfully) to use the heat of a clothing iron to break his ultimate encryption scheme.
		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.

		Another blog-turned-book (see Hertzfeld's www.folklore.org), this set of remembrances chronicles the birth of the Macintosh from inside the lab.
		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.
		Hertzfeld's earnest enthusiasm for the work that he and the team began 25-plus years ago is infectious enough to carry one through the rest.

		Andy Hertzfeld joined Apple in the Apple ][ days and was one of the first people on the Macintosh team.
		The company did release an early version of their first idea, Nautilus, and that has subsequently been integrated into the Gnome desktop environment, but it could not raise its second round of funding and went bankrupt a couple of years later.
		Still, Andy maintains that OSS is an important element in the future of software, and despite his often controversial opinions, he remains eminently entertaining and likeable.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Revolution in The Valley
		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.
		In this vivid first-hand account, author and key Macintosh developer Andy Hertzfeld reveals exactly what it was like to be a key player in one of the most important technical achievements in modern history.
		My only reservation about the content is that most of the anecdotes that still appear humorous to Andy are flat in the reading; you had to be there, I suppose.

		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.

	kstruct » Andy Hertzfeld
		Being a Mac guy, I really enjoyed Robert X. Cringely’s interview with Andy Hertzfeld (although in retrospect, the video didn’t really add much and if I had my time over I’d probably just get the audio).
		There’s too much in there for me to go through it all, but the story of Knuth and the Mac Paint source was great, some of the open source software stuff was really interesting (especially the agrarian revolution point, Robert made) and the idea of Microsoft owning Switcher is quite scary.
		Oh, and if you’re ever in Canberra Andy, I’m sure I could round up quite a few people who’d like to have dinner with you.
