The original Macintosh had only 128K RAM, leaving apps with just 90K after system and display needs. MacWrite and MacPaint pushed memory limits, especially with off-screen buffers.

This desk accessory generated clicks, drags, and menu commands, revealing hidden bugs. Bill Atkinson added the "MonkeyLives" flag so apps could disable quitting during tests, letting the Monkey run for hours. Stored at memory address 256, the flag outlived the tool, becoming a lasting legacy in Mac system globals.

The Macintosh was designed as a low-cost, high-volume PC with tight memory constraints. Early prototypes had 64K RAM and 8K ROM, but graphical needs quickly demanded more. Innovations like the "bus transformer" and ROM expansion to 64K bytes helped, but space remained scarce. Engineers used clever coding tricks to save memory, while debates over code clarity versus efficiency arose—highlighted by a "We're Not Hackers!" comment in the source.

Read more →Mac's Rise and Fall
The original Macintosh launched to strong sales in 1984, exceeding early targets with over 72,000 units sold by April. Initial enthusiasm, fueled by a successful trade show and third-party software, gave way to declining sales by fall. Despite marketing optimism, actual sales fell far short, revealing a reality gap and leadership strain. Product development stalled, with only the expensive LaserWriter printer in the pipeline. Internal tensions grew as sales forecasts were cut, and Steve Jobs' relationship with John Sculley deteriorated. A boardroom clash led to Jobs' removal from the Macintosh division in 1985, followed by Apple's first quarterly loss, layoffs, and emotional fallout. Jobs' future at Apple became uncertain, marking a pivotal moment in the company's history.

Read more →Clipboard Crash Fix
The Macintosh clipboard manager, finalized just before the 1983 ROM freeze, enabled cut and paste between apps by storing data in an app's heap. When apps quit, preserving clipboard data was tricky—initial attempts using disk or system heap failed due to hardware limits. The solution involved copying data to the stack, but a flaw caused crashes when clipboard sizes were odd, creating an unaligned stack pointer on the 68000 processor. This led to system faults during a critical sales demo featuring a sneaker image copied from MacPaint to MacWrite. The bug, embedded in ROM, was patched using a novel system trap technique by Larry Kenyon, intercepting calls to fix the alignment issue. A corrected System file was deployed via floppy, resolving the instability and saving the demo—highlighting early ingenuity in Mac software troubleshooting.

Read more →Macintosh: From $500 to $2,495
The Macintosh began as an affordable $500 personal computer, but component upgrades like the 68000 chip and 128K RAM raised costs, pushing the price to $1,500. Supplier negotiations, led by Steve Jobs, kept initial prices low, but the failed Twiggy drive and switch to Sony’s 3.5-inch drive added $50. By 1983, new CEO John Sculley demanded a $2,495 launch price to fund marketing, overriding the team’s push for affordability.

Read more →RMaker: Mac Resource Builder
Resource manager stabilized in 1982, initially used by dialog manager. By 1983, resources defined UI elements but lacked developer tools. Bruce Horn created a dialog compiler, expanded by the author into RMaker—a Lisa-based tool for building resource files from text. RMaker supported hex and specialized formats, later adding code segment handling for Mac’s 32K limit. A multi-segment loader was developed, storing code in resources with a jump table. Due to Mac’s lack of memory management, a 10-byte jump table was adapted to 8 bytes via a hack in RMaker, later replaced when the Lisa linker was updated. Frustrated by Lisa dependency, the author built a Mac-only development system, rewriting RMaker in assembly to work with Consulair’s tools. Apple bundled it with their developer package, acquiring it for a LaserWriter prototype—delivered before its official release.
