Another good story from Bill Atkinson on Folklore

Some of the insanely great things Bill gifted us with in his short time on this earth

• QuickDraw – Created the graphics engine for Lisa and Macintosh.

• MacPaint – Developed the first popular bitmap graphics editor.

• HyperCard – Invented a precursor to the modern web.

• GUI Innovations – Introduced “marching ants,” lasso tool, menu bar.

• Atkinson Dithering – Created a dithering technique for better image rendering.

• PhotoCard App – Built a postcard app post-Apple.

The Mac 🖥️ doesn’t exist without Bill …

Lot of photos of Bill and the Mac team during its heyday.
