Abstract: This collection contains many blueprints, artifacts, and documentation of Manock's time both at Stanford University as an engineering student and at Apple as a product designer. Biography Jerrold Clifford Manock (born February 21, 1944) is an American industrial designer. He worked for Apple Computer from 1977 to 1984, contributing to housing designs for the Apple II, Apple III, and earlier compact Apple Macintosh computers. Manock is widely regarded as the "father" of the Apple Industrial Design Group. Since 1976 he is the president and principal designer of Manock Comprehensive Design, Inc., with offices in Palo Alto, California, and, after 1985, in Burlington, Vermont. Manock attended Stanford University, where he earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering in 1966 and his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering From 1968 to 1972 Manock worked as a product design engineer in the Microwave Division of Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, California. From 1972 to 1975 he was chief mechanical engineer at Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto. He then worked as a freelance product design consultant; in late 1976 he took on Apple Computer as a client and consulted on the product design and mechanical engineering of the Apple II personal computer. Manock joined Apple in 1979 as corporate manager of product design. Working under the direction of Steve Jobs, Manock designed the Apple III and the "Cuisinart-inspired" upright casing for the Macintosh computer, which necessitated a detached keyboard. Manock also worked on the Disk II and Disk III, and hired the design staff for the Apple Lisa office computer. In January 1981, when Jobs became manager of the Macintosh project, he brought in Manock and Terry Oyama to design the computer housing. According to Jason O'Grady in Apple Inc., Manock was "hand-pciked" by Jef Raskin to work on the Macintosh design team. In a 1984 interview, Manock said that the initial design goal was for a computer housing with "portability", but that idea was replaced by the design goal of "minimal desk space." Manock himself contributed the idea of using icons on the outside of the machine rather than English words to make the Macintosh more international. This style was mirrored by the software team in the ROM, which used icons instead of English-language directions, such as a frowning face when the computer needed to reboot and a smiling face indicating booting.

  • Source Code for Apple's 1983 Lisa Computer to Be Made Public Next Year 31 December 2017, by Seung Lee, the Mercury News
    Source code for Apple's 1983 Lisa computer to be made public next year 31 December 2017, by Seung Lee, The Mercury News The museum's software curator, Al Kossow, announced to a public mailing list that the source code for the Lisa computer has been recovered and is with Apple for review. Once Apple clears the code, the museum plans to release it to the public with a blog post explaining the code's historic significance. However, not every part of Lisa's source code will be available, Kossow said. "The only thing I saw that probably won't be able to be released is the American Heritage dictionary for the spell checker in LisaWrite (word processing application)," he said. The Lisa was the first computer with a graphical user interface aimed at businesses—hence its high cost. With a processor as fast as 5 MHz and 1 MB of RAM, the Lisa computer gave users the breakthrough technology of organizing files by Apple Lisa with a ProFile hard drive stacked on top of it. using a computer mouse.

  • Inventing the Lisa User Interface
    Illustration by David Goldin article Roderick Perkins Dan Smith Keller Frank Ludolph INVENTING THE USER INTERFACE Today’s familiar Macintosh user interface is a direct descendant of the interface first developed and used on Apple’s Lisa computer. Instead of a text-based system that presented the user with a blank screen and blinking cursor, the Lisa displayed an electronic desktop, a picture that the user manipulated directly to tell the computer Twhat to do. The electronic desktop, with its windows, menu bar, and icons was not part of the original design; rather, it was the result of a 4-year-long process of refining goals and developing, testing, and synthesizing many alternative ideas. In fact, the iconic desktop was first tried in 1980 and discarded! The final result (Fig- ure 1) not only made computers easier to use, it made them fun. 41 The system will provide one standard method of interacting with a user in handling text, numbers, and graphics... The system will adhere to the concept of “gradual learning”... A user must be able to do some important tasks easily and with min- imal instruction or preparation... The more sophisticated features will be unobtrusive until they are needed. Errors will be handled consistently in as friendly a manner as possible, and the user will be protected from obvious errors... ... A “Set-up” program will allow the user to customize several system attributes in order to “personalize” interaction with the system... in order to make the system uniquely personal for the user without interfering with the interface standards..
