In April of 1985 I’d hired a replacement to succeed me as head of the Mac/Lisa User Education Group, and had moved over to Guy Kawasaki’s staff to run the Developer team (Evangelism, Developer Marketing, Tech Pubs, and Developer Tech Support). The idea was that I would take over Developer when Guy got his business plan approved to spin out Apple apps as a separate company. It had been a pretty brutal grind from the Mac intro to shipping Lisa 7/7 to the 512Ke and I needed a break. 1/ I also needed a new car, well, wanted one. And I’d bought a new Volkswagen Cabriolet for pick up at the factory in Osnabrück, West Germany (yes, West Germany). I invited my girlfriend at the time to come to Europe, we’d start in Rome, rail to Basel, boat up the Rhine to Düsseldorf, then rail over to the factory. Pick up the car, tool through the Hartz Mountains, drop it off in Frankfurt and have it shipped home. A good three-week break.
