Well, you could invite Steve Capps which made major contributions to the OS
and the interface in the first place. I'd love to meet this guy! Last I've
heard, he was bored working on some advanced project at Microsoft (gasp!).
There is also Walter Smith who did contribute to NewtonScript (he roughly
designed it).
Good luck guys! I don't have any contact in California (besides ooW), and
all my relatives live in Canada, so I would have to dig pretty deep to get
to one of those guys...
