A very funny explanation as to how a former employee of Apple kept breaking INTO the building to code software:  He ended up creating the Graphing Calculator:   

"This is an old story, but I've only told it in person before. Now that  I've put it in print, I thought you might enjoy it.

"It's midnight. I've been working sixteen hours a day, seven days a  week. I'm not being paid. In fact, my project was canceled six months  ago, so I'm evading security, sneaking into Apple Computer's main  offices in the heart of Silicon Valley, doing clandestine volunteer  work for an eight-billion-dollar corporation."

Be sure to read the simple explanation as to why this never made it to Windows (at the very end) . . .
