Apple Computer Cork & Cupertino 1983-1998 updated Feb 2012

These pages is about my time I at Apple Computer Ltd in Cork from 1983 upto 1998. During 1985-86 I was transferred to Cupertino to work on the Apple //gs diagnostics and was lead for the machine's ROM diagnostics. A short time was spent also Apple's Singapore plant to help them prepare for the intoduction of the gs.

These folders are photos of various items I've photographed or scanned. I don't have time to do up a nice web site so for now I've just putting everything in browsable folders.

Photos
