In the fall of 1986, I discovered the Macintosh for the first time. It was love at first use! I worked in a computer store and I decided then and there that I would never buy anything else. Well, it took me a little over three years, but then I purchased my first Mac (it was actually a Lisa, but that’s another story). It was an exciting time to be a Mac user and through the years I never felt differently, even through the “bad ol’ days” just before Steve Jobs came back.

During a large part of my experience, John Sculley was running Apple, and it seemed to me that he did a lot of things right! Why was he always getting such a bashing in the lore of Apple computer. I decided to find out.
