Ron Avitzur

Ron Avitzur is a software developer. He worked with Apple Computer in the early 1990s. After Apple cancelled his project, Graphing Calculator, he, together with his friend Greg Robbins, continued to work for free, sneaking into the building every day in order to continue development of the software.[1] When completed, the software was so impressive that Apple executives used it as their standard demonstration of the then-new PowerPC chips, and agreed to ship the calculator with Mac OS 9.[1]

Ron got his start developing sophisticated math software for Apples as a creative way to solve physics problems while an undergraduate at Stanford. At the same time, dissatisfied with the structural integrity of standard-issue bubbles, he greatly improved on the chemical formulation of the "stuff" in the bottle so he could blow 4-foot long bubbles. ==References==
