Jef Raskin, pioneer and visionary responsible for bringing Macintosh to Apple Computers, has died at age 61.

Jef Raskin joined Apple in January 1978, and left in 1982 after a dispute with Steve Jobs. Raskin was credited with the Macintosh Project, having changed the name from McIntosh, to avoid a conflict with the audio manufacturer of the same name.

Raskin was also an artist, composer, an archer, and race car driver.
He had written the score for the movie "Smog Patterns" for PBS.

Raskin was a computer-human interface expert, and his published works included "The Humane Interface".  Raskin designed Canon Cat, a computer with a text-based user interface that did not use a mouse.  Recently, Raskin was working on "The Humane Environment", a Sourceforge Project. Several discussions regarding the project are available at Sourceforge.
