GUI Pioneer Jef Raskin Has Passed Away

GUI Pioneer Jef Raskin Has Passed Away: "'Jef Raskin, GUI pioneer, interface expert, Apple employee #31, and the man most credited with the creation of the Apple Macintosh, died of cancer on Saturday February 26, 2005. It was Raskin who named it after his favorite fruit, the McIntosh apple, although he said that he changed the spelling to 'Macintosh' to avoid potential copyright conflicts with McIntosh, the audio equipment manufacturer.'"
