I found out lots more stuff after that talk, such as Apple's * other *
handheld skunkworks projects. The top engineers from those projects all
left Apple in frustration when the inferior Newton was picked as the one to
commercialize. This information came from first-person sources.

My favorite computer myth is Apple invented PDAs.
It is sooooo not true (nor HP, nor Psion...)
I remember your talk (and display!) at the last VCF east. You didn't hold
back how you felt about Apple... ;)
Cheers,
