I stumbled upon some amazing websites, with a wealth of information about the Mac; it's history, future, and how it fits in into the technological sphere.

The reason i'm posting this is cause it's a new resource to me, and seeing as how there are so many new Mac users out there now, i think it's something we all would be interested in.

www.folklore.org:
A website set up by Andy Hertzfeld, one of the handful of engineers who designed and developed the original MacOS. There are a lot of short articles about the different aspects of developing the Mac, the company politics and the different personalities involved. Great stuff.

RoughlyDrafted Magazine:
By Daniel Eran Dilger.
I stumbled upon this site accidentally, and found a lot of information regarding the business models, technologies and evolution of the major platforms and companies that Apple competes with. It's mostly opinion based, but a lot of information is hidden in the articles that i'd never known before. I recommend the History and Journal

If any of you know of any great resources, post it here.

Cheers

MacKiDo (http://www.mackido.com/) is pretty neat to read, at least the older stuff. Haven't really 'read' the site in years.
