[DM-MUG] Macintosh creator Jef Raskin dies at 61

[Matt W]

I did find more references to Mr. Raskin death, but I had to go looking 
for them. Too bad. I think his core ideas are interesting but a little 
too radical for a society that's dependent upon certain "traditional" 
GUI elements. But, I haven't checked them out recently, so I'm not the 
expert opinion on this.
