Ondrej Holzman Kuseva Quora.com kuvele okuthunyelwe okuthakazelisayo kukaKim Scheinberg, owathola isibindi eminyakeni kamuva ukwabelana ngendaba yomyeni wakhe, owayeyisisebenzi sakwa-Apple ngokusobala wadlala indima ebalulekile ekushintsheni kuka-Apple kuma-Intel processors.
Ukwesaba? Bengifuna ukwabelana ngale ndaba isikhathi eside.
Unyaka ngu-2000. Umyeni wami uJohn Kulmann (JK) usesebenzele i-Apple iminyaka engu-13. Indodana yethu inonyaka owodwa ubudala futhi sifuna ukubuyela ogwini olusempumalanga ukuze sibe seduze nabazali bethu. Kodwa ukuze sithuthe, umyeni wami kwadingeka acele nokusebenza ekhaya, okusho ukuthi wayengeke akwazi ukusebenza kunoma yimiphi imisebenzi yeqembu futhi kwakudingeka athole okuthile azosebenzela kukho ngokuzimela.
Sahlela ukuthutha kusenesikhathi, ngakho u-JK kancane kancane wahlukanisa umsebenzi wakhe phakathi kwehhovisi lakwa-Apple nehhovisi lasekhaya. Ngo-2002, wayesesebenza isikhathi esigcwele ehhovisi lakubo eCalifornia.
Uthumele i-imeyili umphathi wakhe, uJoe Sokol, okwaqondana ukuthi kwaba ngumuntu wokuqala u-JK amqasha lapho ejoyina i-Apple ngo-1987:
Idethi: ULwesibili, 20 Jun 2000 10:31:04 (PDT)
Kuvela ku: John Kulmann (jk@apple.com)
Ku: Joe Sokol
Isihloko: intelNgingathanda ukuxoxa ngamathuba okuba umholi we-Intel we-Mac OS X.
Noma ngabe ungunjiniyela noma njengomholi wephrojekthi/uchwepheshe nomunye uzakwenu.
Bengisebenza ngokungaguquki endaweni ye-Intel ngesonto eledlule futhi ngiyithanda kakhulu. Uma lokhu (inguqulo ye-Intel) kuyinto engaba ebalulekile kithi, ngingathanda ukuqala ukusebenza kukho ngokugcwele.

Sekudlule izinyanga eziyi-18. NgoDisemba 2001, uJoe watshela uJohn: “Kumele ngikhulume ngeholo lakho kubhajethi yami. Ngibonise ukuthi usebenza ngani njengamanje.”
Ngaleso sikhathi, u-JK wayenama-PC amathathu ehhovisi lakhe e-Apple namanye amathathu ehhovisi lakhe lasekhaya. Zonke wazidayisela umngane wakhe owazakhela eyakhe imihlangano ye-computer, eyayingenakuthengwa ndawo. Bonke basebenzise i-Mac OS.
UJoe wabuka ngokumangala njengoba u-JK evula i-Intel PC futhi esikrinini i-'Welcome to Macintosh 'ejwayelekile.
Athule uJoe isikhashana, athi: "Ngizobuya manje."
Ngemva kwesikhashana, wabuya kanye noBertrand Serlet (iphini likamongameli omkhulu wobunjiniyela besofthiwe kusukela ngo-1997 kuya ku-2001 - inothi lomhleli).
Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangisehhovisi nendodana yethu enonyaka, uMax, ngoba ngangilanda uJohn emsebenzini. U-Bertrand wangena, wabuka i-PC iqala, wayesethi kuJohn: "Kunesikhathi esingakanani ngaphambi kokuthi ukwazi ukusebenzisa i-Sony Vaio?" Impendulo ivela ku- JK: "Hhayi isikhathi eside." "Emasontweni amabili? Kwezintathu?” kubuza uBertrand.
UJohn uthe kuzomthatha amahora amabili, amathathu okungenani.
U-Bertrand watshela uJohn ukuba aye ku-Fry (umthengisi wamakhompiyutha owaziwayo e-West Coast) futhi athenge i-Vaio engcono kakhulu nebiza kakhulu ababenayo. Ngakho mina noJohn noMax saya eFry futhi sabuyela e-Apple esikhathini esingaphansi kwehora. Yayisasebenza ku-Vaia Mac OS ngo-8:30 ngalobo busuku.
Ngakusasa ekuseni, uSteve Jobs wayesevele ehlezi endizeni eya eJapane, lapho inhloko ye-Apple yayifuna ukuhlangana nomongameli we-Sony.

NgoJanuwari 2002, bafaka abanye onjiniyela ababili kulo msebenzi. Ngo-August 2002, ezinye izisebenzi eziyishumi nambili zaqala ukusebenza kuwo. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho kwaqala ukuqagela kuqala. Kodwa phakathi nalezo zinyanga ezingu-18, kwakunabantu abayisithupha kuphela ababenombono wokuthi umsebenzi onjalo wawukhona.
Futhi ingxenye engcono kakhulu? Ngemva kohambo lukaSteve oluya eJapane, uBertrand uhlangana noJohn ukuze amtshele ukuthi akekho okufanele azi ngalolu daba. Akekho nhlobo. Ihhovisi lakhe lasekhaya bekufanele lakhiwe kabusha ngokushesha ukuze lihlangabezane nezidingo zokuphepha ze-Apple.
U-JK waphikisa ngokuthi ngiyazi ngalo msebenzi. Futhi hhayi kuphela ukuthi ngiyazi ngaye, kodwa ukuthi ngisho igama lakhe.
UBertrand wamtshela ukuthi akhohlwe yikho konke nokuthi wayengeke aphinde akwazi ukuxoxa nami ngakho kuze kube yilapho konke sekuvezwa obala.

Ngiphuthelwe yizizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani i-Apple ishintshela ku-Intel, kodwa ngikwazi lokhu ngokuqinisekile: akekho okubike kunoma ubani izinyanga eziyi-18. Iphrojekthi ye-Marklar idalwe kuphela ngenxa yokuthi unjiniyela oyedwa, owavuma ngokuzithandela ukwehliswa esikhundleni esiphezulu ngenxa yokuthi wayethanda ukuhlela, wayefuna indodana yakhe uMax ihlale eduze nogogo nomkhulu wayo.
Inothi lomhleli: Umbhali uphawula emazwaneni ukuthi kungase kube nokungalungile endabeni yakhe (isibonelo, ukuthi uSteve Jobs kungenzeka ukuthi akazange andizele eJapane, kodwa eHawaii), ngoba kakade kwenzekile eminyakeni eminingi edlule, futhi uKim Scheinberg wadweba ikakhulukazi. kuma-e-mail omyeni wakhe azikhumbulayo.
Ngiyakuthanda ukufunda ulwazi olunjalo…. Siyabonga ngesihloko esihle….
