I believe the Magic Cap had some horrible memory leak bugs that were never
solved... It kept slowing down and slowing down, and eventually--poof--all
your data was gone or something... I never owned one, but you can follow the
saga of Woz's journey with them... Google for Woz and Magic Cap. I'm sure
you will find the articles I read... Magic Cap was a really tragic story...
The Newton was a raving success in comparison!
