Launched in 2022 by Laurene Powell Jobs, Tim Cook, and Jony Ive, the Steve Jobs Archive aims to honor the legacy of Jobs, and to launch both new programs and publications. Now the latest of its occasional emails has chosen to celebrate the Mac’s 40th anniversary by recounting a particular day in the computer’s life.
In January 1984, “Rolling Stone” photographer Norman Seeff was sent to Apple and told only that this “weird company” of hippies or “whiz kids” were making computers. When he got there, he found the jeans-wearing, barefoot software team working on the Mac.
