The first commercial product that I worked on after going on leave of absence from Apple in March 1984 (see Leave Of Absence) was a low cost, high resolution scanner for the Macintosh called Thunderscan, that I created in collaboration with a tiny company named Thunderware (see Thunderscan). I started working on it in June 1984, and by early October, it was almost complete.
