The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware

Posted by timothy on from the hypothetically dept.

GraWil writes "As previously reported, the Apple Newton refuses to die! The Worldwide Newton Conference 2004 has wrapped up (photos) and, thanks to Paul Guyot, there is real hope for an emulator. His talk, titled 'Newton never dies, It only gets new hardware,' describes and shows the Einstein Emulator, that will eventually allow the Newton OS to be built and run on top of Unix. Will your next Linux PDA boot Newton OS next year?"

    sorry.. I do prefer to be more personal, but most you guys sound alike and prefer not to be original to each and every "redundant" argument when one simple rebuttal will suffice.
