[Dialogue] Steve Jobs has died

[Wayne Nelson]

We bought one 512 for the office in '87.  All the rest were PC's using DOS.  I bet our overall productivity tripled that year - with just the one shared by maybe 10 people. The graphic interface gave those of us who could not remember all of the DOS codes a way to actually get things done without asking Bill Staples for a code every 15 minutes. It was an amazing breakthrough for us.  A couple years before that, Jan Sanders and Ian Gilmore used 'MacDraw' to create the Group Facilitation manual.  It was a big step in our professionalism.
