That Number 6 really makes me sick... I am dissapointed in the reasoning for
that kind of decision and conditions surrounding the cancelling of the
Newton. Isn't it obvious when someone wants to kill off your thing, that you
have a good thing going... I mean - Mr Gates didnt care too much about the
Mac, he couldn't see it being a threat anymore, but the palm OS market.
Mate. He obviously saw that Newton OS was a serious competitor, and possible
winner - Job's shouldn't have killed it on principle..........GUTTED!
