Bill Atkinson, Pioneer Mcosh’s HyperCard Student, Dies on 74

My first meeting And Alt Atkinson was memorable. Was November 1983, and To give a crimeI had earned the chance to go to a macintosh computers, ready to make a quick setting in the next year. Everyone tells me, this is what I wrote about what I had experienced in my book, Best:

I met Bill Atkinson. A tall man with a poor hair, style of Villa, and the flashes of screens, he had a power without Bruce Den in time as Vietnam Vetm. As anyone else in the room, wear jeans and t-shirts. “Do you want to see an error?” He asked me. They dragged me in his cubicle and pointed to his own. Filling the veil was a vertical drawing. It was beautiful, something that you would see for a tree expensive, but not on your computer. Atkinson laughed his joke, and then in harmony with the world, a great deal of communication that provided its heavy words. “The barrier between words and pictures are broken,” they said. “So far, Art’s country has been a sacred club. As something better. Now it’s using every day.”

Atkinson was correct. Her contributions to Macintos was very interesting that the holiday of the holiday of the Apple called Bandy 3 on the same day. A few years later, he made some major contributions with the program called a hyperkard, which uses a network website. Up to both of them, saved his energy and joie de Vivre, and he had a tightly watched to change the world via code. On June 5, 2025, he died sick. He was 74 years old.

Atkinson did not consider how to become a pioneer in making the messages. As a graduate student, he studied computer science and neurobiology at the University of Washington. But when he met an apple II in 1977, he began working, and he went to work a company that made for a year. Was a number of 51. In 1979, he was one of the small groups that Steve Jobs led to the Xerox Parc and was shot by a computer screen seen in the computer. It became his job interpretation of expensive technology, working on Apple Lisa’s work. In this way, he made many meetings that exceeded today’s cards, such as crosses. Atkinson rebuilt fast, tiny techs of a well-graphic task. One of the same things was “round”-box with a round corners that may be part of what everyone is using. Atkinson had rejected the idea Until the jobs made him walking around the barrier and see all car symbols and other objects with a round corners.

When other applications take some Apple Project recommended PARC technology, Machatosh, told atkinson, whose work has already affected the product. Hertzfeld, who supervises the Mac’s work, which merely related to Lisa: “Every Bill Atkinson did, I didn’t take something.” He said. Atkinson, who had been covered by the top Lisa tree, received the cheaper decision, and began to write the Macanion, an app that would give useful users to make the art of artwork.

After being activated, the team began to be lost. Atkinson had an apple head for another person, who gave him the right to adhere to hypocrisy. He started working on something he called magic, a tool with a well-known screen that weighs under the pound and can be controlled by a stylus and swipes in contact. Actually, they were making iPad 25 years early. But technology was not ready to make a small and powerful thing in the cheapest price (Atkinson was at risk that would be the cheaper that I can destroy, “sometime he told me.
