Macintosh computer creator Raskin dead at 61
SAN JOSE, Calif. The man behind the Mac is dead. Jef Raskin, who conceived Apple Computer’s groundbreaking Macintosh but left the company before it came out, was 61.
His family says Raskin died Saturday night at his home in Pacifica, California. In December, he told friends he had pancreatic cancer.Raskin joined Apple in 1978. A year later he had an idea — a computer that’s priced affordably, targeted at consumers and extremely easy to use. His concept would eventually become the Macintosh.
I got a Mac as soon as they were made, right at the beginning. Damn, the passing of an era.
