Know a big bit of Apple history?
Then maybe you know of Bill Atkinson?

What a sad sad news to receive.

I mean, to count his creations and work for the Mac...that's an incredibly long list. I know, most will probably pick MacPaint, but to me, his biggest creation has been Hypercard ... it was an amazing concept back in 1987, revolutionary and well-executed and if only Apple's marketing had been abler to promote and see its vision ....

Rest in Peace, Bill. And thank you for your incredile work.
