It is interesting to read Jef Raskin and it is even more interesting to see THE and to get an idea what he is striving for.
Because he created a lot of suspense, I expected some radical new. However after having a quick reading of the THE material, I guess it is less radical than I expected.
Will a different way of interpreting my key strokes and mouse movements really be such a big change?
I doubt it somewhat. But as I have not used the system I canot really tell.
Personally I believe new hardware (tablet pcs with formidable handwriting recognition, speech recognition, heck even brain wave pattern recognition..) will have a much larger impact.
