Frank Casanova Interview - Maclopedia (1996)

December 15, 2025

Original text from Maclopedia.

While I wasn’t looking, Frank Casanova parted ways with Apple in 2024. Whoops.

John Buck’s book on Apple’s Advanced Technology Group, Inventing the Future, is worth your while. John is also on the fediverse. Stick around and you might pick up some extra dirt.

Unedited versions of the Macintosh Quadra 700/900 launch, the Macintosh IIfx launch, and the WWDC 2004 announcement of QuickTime 7’s support for H.264.
