Canon Cat
What the Macintosh might have been
From the description:
"Up for sale is an excellent example of the human user interface concept. The Canon Cat is regarded as what the Macintosh might have been had its original director, Jef Raskin, remained at the helm instead of Steve Jobs. Unlike the final release of the Macintosh, the Cat uses a text interface that utilizes partial text search to allow users to easily jump between different parts of a document (it is primarily a word processor.)
In very good condition. I have powered it up and edited a few documents, testing the keyboard and the screen. I can not make any guarantees on the floppy disk drive or modem though I have no reason to believe they are not functional. There is some writing on the top of the display that can be easily removed with a bit of alcohol and the case is a bit yellowed from age.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this particular Cat. Though I have tested it, it is sold as-is."
