I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs.

To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming bookkeeping communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single integrated personality.
