I didn't realize that he was ill. I just finished reading Revolution in the Valley. Although he is sometimes treated as a sideshow in the history of the Macintosh, I believe that he's one of Classic Computing's Great Thinkers. My wishes and prayers go out to his family. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Vintage Computer Festival Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 3:34 AM To: Classic Computers Mailing List Subject: Jef Raskin Sorry to have to break this news. I just learned this tonight. I have no other details. ;( ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Dear Friends, Jef died this evening, surrounded by friends and family, with some favorite music playing. While I am overcome by a profound sense of sadness and am not looking forward the the days, weeks and years ahead without him, I am also relieved that he did not suffer for a long time and that he is at peace and no longer in pain. There will be a memorial service, time and date to be determined.
