I thought this was great. The whole time I was watching this I was thinking how these two guys were responsible for the design of the apple products I grew up with and adored in the 80's and 90's; LC II, Stylewriter II, heck I didn't know the applevision display I owned in 1995 was designed by Jonathan Ive, interesting tidbit. It's great to see the people and stories behind these designs

Yeah, this was really interesting!

Watch out for the microphone feedback sound at 1:25:09 though. Made me jump something fierce.
