• Engineers work on projects after hours for the sheer joy of engineering.
• Management not compensating these efforts encourages the engineers to leave (and the ones you probably actually want to keep).
• Clever hack: creating a loop with a prime-number cycle-count relationship with another loop so to avoid "phase locking".
• Clever hack: two-chip peripheral card for the Apple II.
• The utility (albeit slow-speed) of the Apple II design that allowed for a two-chip peripheral card solution in the first place.
