No, my assertion is Apple kept a tight lid and had a culture of secrecy even dating back to the development of Macintosh, and if anyone in management caught a sniff that Raskin was showing you his prototype, he would have been summarily fired, and the Mac would never have been. So while it is possible, and I do actually believe you, it also seems unlikely and specious that Raskin, a serious and intelligent man, would risk his livelihood and his brainchild to show off for a developer of modem software. You two must have been pretty tight.
