It's like designing the pefect monkey: It can go out into the world and
eat all the bananas you throw at it, prehensile tail and all, but in the
end it would be hollow and empty inside. Pretty soon we'd be asking
ourselves the question, "Was it even worth it?"
Unless GNUton interest is renewed (even as a base starting point for
another project), the TabletPC movement should be chloroformed and
released at low-orbit.
I did contact a guy working on a similar project, but lost his name and
the search terms that first identified him. He told me that he may still
have some of his original work buried somewhere, which I was hoping to
make available even if it wasn't all that useful. Does anyone remember
what other projects were trying to interpret API calls other than GNUton?
