  • Jef Raskin's vision for humane computers focused on efficiency, consistency, and adaptability to human needs.
  • The Canon Cat, one of Raskin's notable systems, is a keyboard-only computer programmable in Forth, emulated via MAME.
  • Despite incomplete MAME support (missing floppy drive and serial port), the Canon Cat's unique interface can still be explored.
  • The Canon Cat was marketed as a work processor but functioned as a full computer with spreadsheet and document capabilities.
