Zoomer, I have doubts!

Actually, I can't tell you whether the RISC processor uses more power. I
would suppose it depends on the chip itself, compared to other chips. One of
the features of the Casio-designed Intel-compatible chip is its low power
consumption--it was designed with this as a primary feature.

I don't know why Newton has such a short battery life. You would think that
Apple would be as smart as a simple watch company and would be able to design
a PDA that had some staying power.

To Sean: Read my messages more carefully. I did not say GEOS was 10 years
old, I said our business plan 10 years ago called out consumer computing
devices. What I also said was that GEOS was redesigned from the bottom up
within the last five years, with state-of-the-art object technology as well
as technology GeoWorks invented (such as a generic UI).

Again, I invite any technical questions you have on the GeoWorks software
(unfortunately, I don't know a lot about hardware, so I'll probably have to
ignore hdwe questions :-)

Pete.Subj: OK, OK
