Thank you for this post. It reminded me of the one line in “General Magic” where Marc Porat tells the documentary producer that the reason he agreed to make himself very available and open for the film was so that his (presumably somewhat estranged) children can get to know him and the story and the work they did, better.

Terribly sorry for you and your friends and colleagues’ loss. Thank you and everyone else for doing this for his children.



Had same reaction when I saw Marc in the General Magic doc. We’d already started working with Sandra when I saw it. But think it’s part of why Marc’s story was so emotional for me. Both stories of opportunity, genius, and loss.


Maybe it was the direction or the editing, but there was so much romance in it for me as a kid growing up in SV during that era. I had Misty eyes for an era mostly gone by.

Thanks again for your work, both on the company and the article.
