I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

My favorite computer of all time? The Apple II that got me started, of course.

The Apple has the fewest bells and whistles. It has simple sound and few graphics special effects. In a way, that is a weakness because markets for the other machines are getting bigger.

Most of the musicians that I know almost to the man everybody uses Apple computers. They've thought of the steps that you're going to think of when you're trying to create your thing. And that's where the tools get invented to make better art.

The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.

With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.

It's really hard to compete with Apple on pure coolness, and if you do, you're probably going to use some of the things they pioneered.

I had been doing MP3 players and handheld computers since 1990-1991, and so they sought me out because of my experience. And about 18 generations of iPod and three generations of iPhone later, I decided to leave Apple.

I love all things Apple and have done since 1996.
