Aqua and Bondi: The road to OS X and the computer that saved Apple

New book from Stephen Hackett. It’s an 80 page look at a critical time for Apple, a time that saw Bondi Blue, Tangerine, and Flower Power iMacs and the birth of a brand new operating system.

Aqua and Bondi is an 80-page examination of these products. In it, I look at what went so wrong inside Apple in the 90s, talk about the software strategies that came and went over the years and, of course, the iMac.

I’ve been working on this project since the fall, and am excited to say today that the book is for sale today on the iBooks Store or as a PDF. Both versions are just $3.99.

Here’s a link to the iBook store version of the book.

Here’s a link to Stephen’s site for the PDF version of the book.

Best of luck with the book, Stephen.

  1. I don’t miss the Bondi Blue steam irons, vacuum cleaners and george foreman grills though 🙂 For a little while it seemed like every new consumer device was made of translucent blue and white plastic.
