From a Jaguar user, Inkwell is akin to Plaintalk - interesting but not
usable for me at this time. I figure when they marry a g4 laptop with the
wacom display - then that will be something.
But in terms of speed - give me a newton anyday.

I would suggest that they do something more original and intuitive with the
implementation. Like allowing you to scribble over files on your desktop.
That would be cool.

But in terms of Jobs not letting go of Rosetta - hey he has a brain. Just
think if Apple kept using it from 1998 til now. :-(
