Hey Listers,

I know this comes up every 24 days (and twice on the vernal equinox),
but MacObserver and Slashdot are both running a piece about a patent

the Patent . Far too large as a Newton replacement, but might be nice
to see that Newton technology hiding under the hood of OSX with a good
venue to shine.

here is a link to the Register Article from back last year when the
patent was filed:

And Joel Schiamma's post to the list about the patent from August of
last year (with one measly response...)
