Ok, wow.

This is fantastic information, Steve. I especially appreciate finding out the correct way to spell "Bunwarmer" from the resource strings. I have some glossary updating to do in that regard. I've never run across the "FlashPad" or "gerbil" references either ... "Bunwarmer+" is interesting too.

I'm quite happy to step back from calling my "plexiglas sandwich" Newton prototype Bunwarmers, but it would be nice to determine if they actually had proper code names.
