Questions

[edit]

Woz repeatedly stated that Bill Atkinson was color blind (also in this video), and suggests that this was the reason why both the original Macintosh and HyperCard had no color. Is there any merit to that story? It would be surprising, given Bill Atkinson's later work on color nature photography and breatktrough color calibration print processes. 89.244.176.231 (talk) 01:46, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Atkinson is an Apple Fellow but I can't find a good source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.109.128.137 (talk) 00:20, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

[edit]

I removed a photo that had been added to Commons from Flickr. While the photo identifies a Bill Atkinson, we don't have a way to establish that it is the same Bill Atkinson that is the subject of the article. It's also not helpful to have the photo include another person who is not mentioned in the article, but that could perhaps be solved by cropping. For a comparison photo, see this Forbes profile. While there are certain similarities, I'm not sure it's a match. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 13:10, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
