“‘Making the Macintosh’ is an online project documenting the history of the Macintosh computer. The Macintosh stands at a cusp in the history of computing and Silicon Valley: it brought together (and sometimes transformed) a number of technical and conceptual threads in computing that developed in the 1960s and 1970s, but it also was responsible for sparking new movements in computing. This project collects and publishes primary material on the Macintosh’s development and early reception. It draws on the extensive holdings of the Stanford University Library’s Department of Special Collections, the personal papers of engineers and technical writers involved in the Macintosh project, and interviews conducted for the project.”

“Now that the bottom has dropped out of the dot-com market, we’ve got time to sit back and philosophize about when the so-called Web revolution was in its infancy. How did we get to here from those weird early-1990s days? The Bay Guardian tapped two of the city’s best-known cybercounterculturalists, R.U. Sirius and Justin Hall, to discuss their perspectives on the last decade of digital experimentation and new media hype.”

A big ol’ page filled with a bunch of frequently asked questions regarding forms and JavaScript, including “Upon loading a page with a form, is it possible to set the focus to a form object, e.g. ‘User Name’ Textbox?,” “How can I change the current location after successfully submitting a form?” and other necessaries.

“The web — the people who program/design/market it — delights in jargon. Unfortunately, many technical terms have multiple distinct meanings, so I hope this definition list helps sort these concepts out for you.”
