Bill, This is from the PBS transcript of Accidental Empires: www3.pbs.org "Jobs found his answer from Jeff Raskin, Apple employee number 31. Raskin's idea was a $600 computer - as easy to use as a toaster - code-named Macintosh, after America's favourite apple. Jobs liked the price but not Raskin's design ideas. So Steve took over the Macintosh project, determined to make it a cheaper Lisa." I believe Raskin had worked at PARC before coming to Apple. He wasn't on the Mac team for very long, so to call him the "Father of the Mac" wouldn't be appropriate, in my opinion. But he was the guy that got Jobs to take a look at PARC, and therefore deserves his place in history. Regards, Scott
