From our 5-part series on Silicon Valley Pioneers meet Bill Atkinson, who was part of the team that created the original Macintosh at Apple computers and then went on to co-found General Magic.

This is Part-2 of our conversation, where we pick up our thread of conversation with his work for the Lisa Project for Steve Jobs. “Lisa was designed more for the office worker. And we wanted to be very graphical oriented.” We shift gears from his work with Macintosh and Lisa to his childhood and the important role his mother played. She instilled in me the belief
that I could do anything that I set my heart to as long as I was willing to work really hard.”

This conversation is part of Season 4 of our Silicon Valley Pioneers series that spotlights the role of “hidden figures” in Silicon Valley. This 5-part series featuring Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld is sponsored by Zoho.

The Kamla Show is filmed and produced in Silicon Valley and airs on TV in the US and is available on YouTube.
