The palm reminds me of old AmigaOS1.x where every program lives in its own
context all on its own (except even old amigaos did multitask properly :).
The newton is much smarter since it lets data flow between applications,
I just love that and hope some of those not-dead PDA systems pick this up
with same elegancy as NewtonOS.

A shame newton isnt around anymore, with todays hardware it would be just
perfect, I wonder how much work would be needed to get it running on other
strongarm based PDAs today :)
