"In 1984, Apple debuted the Macintosh: a personal computer that took a radical leap in the user experience, and brought it to the masses. And behind the computer was the team, which included a young programmer, Bruce Horn. Fresh from the groundbreaking labs at Xerox PARC, Bruce worked on the Finder, an application and concept that in some form or another, is universally used by computer users today. Now, soon after the Macintosh's 20th anniversary, Dr. Horn joins us to revisit his experience as a collaborator in one of the greatest technological projects in history, discuss what he has done since then, and what he has planned for the future."

Nice interview. I especially like Joe's question about the integrated text readers and whatnot. Im always disappointed when I find another file format that cannot be read or heard or viewed in the Finder. Its support for text files is iffy at best, its pretty lame that it only loads like 8 lines in a .txt file. There should be some kind of plugin architecture in Finder that allows some apps to add this functionality to the preview of Finder (Im talking about column view btw).
