Verifiability[edit]

Is this "visionary Sami Asfour" business legit? I've never heard of this person, and I don't see any reference to this story elsewhere on the internet. Perhaps the story should be submitted to folklore.org by the author but removed from this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 17.202.12.146 (talk) 06:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Burrell Smith was mentioned several times in Walter Isaacson's book "Steve Jobs". Burrell was the hardware engineer for the Macintosh 128K. He was also later mentioned in the book as suffering from schizophrenia. Powerslide (talk) 07:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should Logic Boards be mentioned as he invented the Logic Board? Applepwnz 05:38, 17 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applepwnz (talk • contribs)

This reference [1] described Burrell Smith as a "self-taught engineer." Would it make sense to include him in the list of [2]?

Just throwin' the idea out there! I'm not an experienced Wikipedian :o)
