Hugh Allan is a Mac and now iPhone developer living in Auckland, New Zealand. It's nice here.
I begun as an Amiga developer working for a small software company in the East Midlands in England. When everyone could see the writing for Commodore was on the wall, I moved to the next big thing, which was of course NeXT Computers. I blew whatever savings I had on a NeXTstation, learnt the system inside out with it's strange mix of Unix, Display Postscript, Objective C and Interface Builder. It was taken all very seriously at the time, an investment in a new company fell through, one which would have been one of the first to supply internet connections in the UK. The investor didn't think the internet had any kind of future. Hmmm....
