[NTLK] Followup on mystery Newton

[Victor Rehorst]

I found this photo, seems to be from a web design agency who did work 
for Visible Interactive, showing their "iGo" handheld guide... It might 
be too new though.  I checked the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, and 
it first archived this page in 2000.

But then I kept on digging and found the original Visible Interactive 
site (or, at least, the first one archived), and that site has different 
photos - especially the one with an actual hand holding the device 
definitely matches a Newton wearing a slick neoprene case:

Perhaps the business case article changed the name of the device?

Anyways, there's also a nice list of projects that they did:
