it's true these things are great but apple isn't only there to make great products. They are here to make money!!! We a=
re obsessed with Newtons and some are with the cube. It sold poorly, maybe WOZ isn't around anymore because of his obses=
sion and didn't think of it like a business anymore.
Some of the best microsoft programmers actually hate using their own products. Some Mac Tech supports hate using macs (a=
lthough know them inside and out).
Love turns into stupid business moves.... A newton for $799? hummm? a cube for $1799.99? There you go.

Subject: [NTLK] HTLK: the Woz loves the Newton!
From in interview with Woz at:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,566999,00.html
"I wish that Apple had stuck with the Cube and
the Newton. The Newton was probably the most
special machine that I have ever used. I
regularly took outlined notes with regular
handwriting. I would handwrite things like "Sara
dentist Tuesday 2pm", click Assist, and have the
calendar appointment set up. I would even
handwrite "call Jim" to make a phone call,
without the structured approach of dialling
numbers on my phone. That machine truly freed my
head to work in easier ways. "
