One thing that doesn't ring true for me is
when he says the not one line
of code was taken from Xerox. I was involved in a project to make a LAB
interface (A-D/D-A I/O bits) for the first (128K) MAC. The earliest
development software was full of Xerox copyright notices...
I was also an early Mac developer, back when you had to use a Lisa to
develop for the Mac. I don't recall seeing any Xerox copyright notices.
If there were only a few I could believe I might have overlooked some,
but I don't think it could have been "full of" such notices.
