Canon Cat

The Canon Cat was an innovative, task-dedicated, desktop computer released by Canon Inc. in 1987. On the surface it was not unlike the dedicated word processors popular in the late 1970s to early 1980s, but it was far more powerful and incorporated many unique ideas for data manipulation. There is a current software project underway, initiated by Jef Raskin himself, to develop a similar yet even more capable system for today's computing systems. The project (called Archy) is designed to eventually replace current software interfaces.
