I before e poem by jef raskin1/10/2024 ![]() ![]() Although he helped the Lisa team to improve the Lisa mouse, Jef's Macintosh design was keyboard-centric. I think this was because the people at PARC who Jef met in the '70s only showed him software that relied on all three buttons on an early Xerox mouse. He said he did not know at the time that other people had reached that same conclusion a few years earlier. In the summer of 2004, he told me in an email that he had concluded in the 1970's that a one-button mouse would reduce user errors. In the summer of 1980, he helped me argue for reducing the number of buttons on the Lisa to one. Because Jef was such an early employee of Apple, I do believe he was one of the first people there to talk about PARC-developed concepts with his colleagues. I will attempt an objective critique of the cited passage. Larry Tesler, among others, debates this claim. Raskin also claims to have had continued direct input into the eventual Mac design, including the decision to use a one-button mouse as part of the Apple interface, a departure from the Xerox PARC standard of a three-button mouse. Raskin takes credit for introducing Jobs and other Apple employees to the PARC concepts, but it appears this is not really the case. ![]() This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.
