Ask HN: Was anyone working at Apple during Steve Jobs' return in 1997?

The famous story is that Apple was nosediving under the current CEO and that Apple's acquisition of NeXT (and bringing Steve Jobs back as CEO) revitalised the company.

I read about drastic staff / product cuts and re-focusing on the company, however that was always told from the outside.

Was someone working at Apple during that transition and has any interesting stories / can share their experience?
