Sorry, but that is silly. Who's to say what that "definite" time period was.
The truth is, if you want to believe in conspiracies and other silly,
notions, nobody can stop you, as you will always have some kind of
"evidence" that is there to convince you. Why is it that we cannot simply
accept that Apple blundered, and that the Newton is not what everybody
wanted. Sure, it's great for me, and apparently thousands of us, but the
normal person wasn't and probably isn't ready for it, because the Newton
doesn't really meet their needs-- and neither, apparently, does the Palm nor
PocketPC. Maybe, just maybe, these toys are a solution in search of a
problem? I mean, yes, it's a solution for me, but not for the average Joe on
the street. That's all that is necessary, not some silly conspiracy or
back-room deal.
