A little bit later, after we returned to Bandley 3, we were surprised by a large Apple truck that pulled up in the parking lot near the back of the building. It contained 100 brand new Macintoshes, one for each member of the team, personalized with a little plaque on the back. Steve presented one at a time to each team member with a handshake and a smile as the rest of us stood around cheering. SOURCE

Lets make a list with pictures of first 100 Mac employee who got their personalized Mac. Here are some I have found so far. I am not the author of the pics. They can be found on the internet. All other info found on Folklore.org and from The mac Bathroom reader book by Owen W. Lynzmayer.

1. Andy Hertzfeld (Software wizard; wrote most of the Macintosh Toolbox. Left Apple in 1985)
