But remember, the Newton was a downsized, cheaper, less capable device
than what Sculley originally envisioned. We've all seen the videos of
that thing on the park bench, talking to its owner, etc. (Very
"Hal"-esque, IMO). That was Sculley's PDA. There were multiple items
that went into the OMP being called what it was called.
