Finally took some pictures of the (sadly non-working) Apple Network Server
prototype I landed and also got around to analysing the hard disk it came
with. Spoiler alert: this Shiner HE was at Netscape doing "real work" for
several years at least.

That would be Dennis Yarak. Dennis went to portables from the server group
and was project lead on the G4 powerbooks.
His brother Keith was manager of the XServe design group.
Bit puzzled when you say the server group was in Austin.
Shiner started out in Cupertino in the N&C group in DeAnza 3.
I was involved in early development when all of the AIX/Netware/Pink
stuff was going on with it.

Is he around here?

*Somebody* was in Austin, though (for one thing, I don't know how it would
have acquired its code name otherwise - no one knows what Shiner beer is out
in California). There was these mentions as well:

Was Brinton Baker in Cupertino, or Austin? Maybe started in Cupertino and
moved over?
