As someone with a lot of overlapping interests to Raskin - I'd love to see some of these 'environmental/installation' artworks of his. Would be fascinating (!) - thanks for posting this High Tech Heroes - I have to finish watching all of these. Great series and great resource.
A nice thing about the one-button paradigm is that the entire top of the mouse can be the button. Then you get the Apple Pro Optical Mouse, the best mouse ever designed.
@@GH-oi2jf My middle school had the 2000's era Apple Pro Mice. I guess a bonus was that brats kept stealing mouse balls, and also prying off the keycaps off the keyboards (usually for swear words or the letters of their names) so there was no ball to steal. I remembered the Apple Pro Optical Mouse being awkward to palm. Microsoft with the Intellimouse and Logitech were blowing the water with sleek ergonomic mouse designs, scroll wheels, and side buttons. We had installed Age of Empires and Starcraft on both the Macs and Windows PCs. On the Windows PCs we also had Quake, Half-Life, and Team Fortress Classic installed. So lunchtime and after school the lab was a giant LAN party. Not having a right mouse button let alone a scroll wheel was seen as a major disadvantage even if the iMacs we had (Which I was told were generously donated by Apple) were usually more powerful than the Windows PCs. Our teacher allowed us to play these games, until but some busybody girls complained about the violence and we were shut down. (We think they were just tired of us hogging the good computers and were trying to mess with us.) However, the iMac keyboard with the symmetrical USB ports on both sides was ingenious.
Steve Jobs has invented the Lisa. The 1st Macintosh is a low-cost Lisa based on the Lisa Operating System. So low-cost that the 1st (128k version) was unusable... Fortunately Steve Jobs was there pushing for better specs than what was designed by Jef Raskin.
@@GH-oi2jf It was a commercial flop because it was too expensive not because it was bad. How what I've sait could be revisiting history: take the hardware specs, the OS specs, and prices then compare.
"After Steve Jobs was forced out of the Lisa project by Apple’s Board of Directors, he then appropriated the Macintosh project from Jef Raskin" It was Job's fault that it didn't work in the first place; and also Job's fault for getting booted out of his own company's project. So why do you seem to have so much hate for Jef Raskin?
Just over 1,000 views? This series needs more loving!

Lol great vid but let's be serious -- worst onscreen chemistry ever.

Dan Roy Every-time I watch these two interact... I cringe and feel sick. Too much social awkwardness.
Raskin honestly seems like not the easiest person to get along with. Still a great personality from the early computer history
So this is the guy who insisted on one mouse button!

Revisionist history, I think. The Lisa was a flop, so Jobs took over a project that was working.

@@JustTheWarning Where is the hate for Jef Raskin in what I wrote ? Please explain because I don't get your intellectual path leading to hate.
