If money was no object, I think I would create my own startup. I would hire
Steve Capps and Walter Smith, for a start, then would probably try to bring
Paul Guyot, Steve Weyer and Sean Luke on board, because they have been the
most tenacious people to develop for the Newton.

Then, I would direct everyone to use the Newton OS as a start, but to come
up with a better implementation. Version 5 of the Newton OS, if you will...

So, the conception part would probably be around 40-50 millions, though...

code grinder n.: A suit-wearing minion of the sort hired in legion strength
by banks and insurance companies to implement payroll packages in RPG and
other such unspeakable horrors. In its native habitat, the code grinder
often removes the suit jacket to reveal an underplumage consisting of
button-down shirt (starch optional) and a tie. In times of dire stress, the
sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half an inch.
It seldom helps. The code grinder's milieu is about as far from hackerdom as
one can get and still touch a computer; the term connotes pity.
