I remember writing to Jef Raskin and asking if will sell me one of his Canon Cats in the early 2000s. He wanted $10K for one, which I couldn't afford. Didn't realise until much later that he was probably raising funds for his medical treatment, hence the steep price.
Jef also died of Pancreatic Cancer, just like his arch nemesis, Steve Jobs.
