David Pogue reveals the unlikely stories, eccentric personalities, and relentless pursuit of excellence that turned Apple into one of the world's most influential brands.
This added to the pleasure I had in reading the book. Pogue has the gift for making readers feel like they're swapping stories across a table in Starbucks, except that Pogue's are so much better.
Definitely not self-aggrandizing! I've followed you since the late eighties. I love when you recount your personal stories. I'm enjoying the book immensely. I prefer reading slowly, a little bit at a time, so I can savor it, which means it will be awhile before I finish.

Those were great stories! Especially that last one. Kudos! Now I know who to thank, because I am a screenshot-alcoholic.
Note that WiFi wasn’t invented by Apple, but (as the article states) Apple promoted WiFi and showed the mass market how it could be useful.
A couple of years before that 1999 demo, there were already WiFi pcmcia cards for sale from Orinoco. My workplace used them with Windows laptops
Re: poll
When the company was paying, Apple. When I was paying, Windows PCs then Chromebooks.
Great stories from the book! Too busy trying to release my own indie published books.
The first time I met and talked with you was at MacWorld San Francisco. Perhaps the day of the Steve Jobs iPhone announcement there?
Anyway I do miss MacWorld, but once Apple pulled out, what was the use.
Hearing a clear voice about Apple and its products is very well, indeed.
Thank you for doing that.
Cheers,
