But you do realize, anything that Steve puts out
will
be without the design specifications of any of the
existing Newton/emate users...Heck, I doubt he will
take into consideration any end users opinions.
Instead he will gather a cadre of Californian
fashionistas and create some kind of body jewelry
that
doubles as "some kind of rudimentary lathe"
(identify
the movie quote) ie, not really something everybody
feels they need to have, but will purchase because
the
beautiful people have one...
