You've seen this before. Now you can hear the rest of the story. This is a RealAudio stream from March 11, episode 284. Act Two. Not Far From The Tree. Amy O'Leary tells the story of a software writer at Apple Computer whose job contract ends, but refuses to go away. He continues to show up at work every day, sneaking in the front door, hiding out in empty offices, and putting in long hours on a project the company cancelled. There were no meetings, no office politics, no managers interfering with his work. Soon, he had written a perfect piece of software. His final problem is figuring out how to secretly install it in Apple's new computers without anyone noticing. (12 minutes) Act Two begins at 20 minutes into the broadcast.
