These are the members of the Macintosh Division as of early 1982.

The original Mac ROM and system disk was done primarily by Andy
Hertzfeld, Bruce Horn, Larry Kenyon, and Steve Capps. Significant
chunks were done by Bill Atkinson (QuickDraw, which he rewrote in
68000 assembly language from his Lisa (Pascal) version), Martin
Haeberli (memory mgr), and Susan "SusiON" Kare (fonts, icons).
Other pieces were done by Donn Denman, Roni Seebok, myself, and
others who will kill me for not remembering their names.

Sushi was a big part of the diet (SusiON used to collect the little
green plastic garnishes that they serve sushi with, and at one
point had covered a 4x5' wall panel with 'em). Other food groups:
Togo's sandwiches, Chili's hamburgers, Cicero's pizza.

We had sweatshirts that say "90 Hours A Week And Loving It" (the
Apple II folks retorted with one that said "50 Hours A Week: Insanely
Adequate" :-).
