From the 20 Jan SF Chronicle business news:
"Andy Hertzfeld, a former Apple employee who helped develop the Macintosh,
noticed that the QickDraw version running his color Macintosh II system
seemed to be slower than necessary.
"So Hertzfeld, widely known for inventing Macintosh improvments, came up
with a solution that has been dubbed Quicker Draw. 'I came up with a
fabulous new technology that allows me to speed things up by a factor of
three,' he said.
"But Apple's executives have indicated the company isn't likely to market
the product. Undaunted, Hertzfeld says Radius Inc., the Sunnyvalue maker of
large monitors and of other Macintosh products, will pick up the product if
Apple doesn't change its mind in the next week or so."
Interesting, eh?
