Except that Raskin's vision for the Mac was completely different from the direction Steve took it in. That's not speculation, we know what Raskin wanted the Mac to be because he founded a separate company and implemented it as SwyftWare and later the Canon Cat. Raskin's plans for the 'Mac' interface didn't even use a GUI, it was entirely text based.
Im not bitter it just bothersme the fanboyism that is so prevalent in Sillicon Valley...if we want to improve our craft we need to know it's history.
