Nope, other stuff. One guy was Harry Vertelney who worked on a project
called Smartifacts. He went into interactive TV and now he works on DARPA
stuff at Sun. The other guy was Paul Mercer who worked on a project called
Swatch. He founded Pixo which made the iPod interface and now he's doing a
startup doing OS design for phones.
