Filed Under (Event) by billibala on 28-05-2010
Thank you everyone for coming to the May meetup. Hope you have a great time! What do you think about the Newton MessagePad 2100?
If you didn’t get the chance to play around with the it, don’t worry. You can always check out MACitizen event and request if you can take a look at it.
We have to thank Derek, host of Macitizen, to show us his working Newton MessagePad. This is really nice and generous!
In this meetup, we interviewed Franky – an ex-Apple Engineer who worked in the Newton team in the 90s. Franky is now running a game company in Hong Kong – CDE Game. You can check out their games in the App Store.
In the first half of the interview, Franky shared his story back in the Newton era. When asked about how his work day is like, he told us engineers in the project literally started the day from 12 pm till 6 am the other day for months and months. Great product really didn’t come easy…
Special thanks to our venue sponsor of this meetup: Ultimate PC & Mac Gallery
