   What was the author's source? Let's assume that Gregg Williams wrote his   
   article in September 1986. Apart from his own direct investigation, how many   
   sources were even available in September 1986? He could have asked some   
   Apple employees, but he also could have referred to the Cortland documents   
   or similar pre-release developer's documentation.
