That's an awesome idea. Maybe we should ask what he's working on at apple now? And maybe if we can get some more close up pics of his face?

I wonder what that's all about :(

Doesnt really matter though, since that's from 1996.....
What makes you think those are PC's? Macs looked like that back then.

It's a well known fact that even Jobs himself didn't use a Mac when he returned to Apple. Can't believe this guy had a mullet. Too funny.

His girlfriend looks hotter now too. Little less "junk in the trunk" as far as I can see. He must still be at apple since his beach buddy has an OS X t-shirt on. His webpage also says it was recently modified. I wonder what he's working on now.... Someone email him saying we're starting his fan club....

Exactly right. In Apple's words, OpenDoc provided "a new user paradigm: the user focused on creating a document or performing a task, rather than on using a particular application."

The idea was that a document could be created out of objects (called "parts"), where editors or viewers specific to each type of object would handle your interaction with that part of the document.

In the application-centric view, for example, you can only put a video in your word processing document if your word processor happens to have support for display or editing of videos. You can only put a video in an e-mail if your e-mail application happens to have support for display or editing of videos.

In contrast, if you had an OpenDoc "part editor" for videos, you could put a video (and edit it in place) in any OpenDoc application. Your word processor, your e-mail program, or any other OpenDoc application would automatically support videos.

Apple got IBM on its bandwagon and the two companies developed it together, but OpenDoc never caught on.

i sent the guy an email.

if he answers, i plan to tell him about the thread... any objections?

i guess he won't like the parts, where some guys make fun of him...

well, he made the pictures in the first place, right?

Mr. Vink's PhotoPage utility seems pretty nice. I wonder how it compares (or whether it had anything to do with) the export-to-HTML facility of iPhoto.

When I woke up I was excited to find out that my aneurysm was clipped with titanium clips, and I had titanium plates in my head to keep my skull together. Titanium if what PowerBook G4s are made of.
I'm glad that he can make fun about it...
