Thoughts? Not so much. Facts, yes.

The Newton was created and perfected in the Great Interregnum of the Nineties, when His Holiness the Jobbes was ousted from the inner halls of Apple.

The first thing Jobs did when he came back was to nix the Newton, claiming people needed keyboards. There was no clear economical reason to axe the Newton project (Newtons had finally evolved into a near-perfect state, Apple had spun off the project into a separate company, but Jobs pulled everything back into Apple, just to can it).

I have it on good authority that Jobbo is a petty, vindictive egomaniac who, even more than Billy Gate$, needs to be King of the World to be able to get off.
