- Newton is *not* a code name, it is THE real name. The first PDA
- itself may not be named Newton, but Newton is the name of the
- technology and Newton is the name of the operating system. And these
- are the things most people are talking about.
-
- I comp.sys.pda is a good start, but every company is going to refer to
- their products as PDAs as well, or least the users will. I think
- comp.sys.newton is the most appropriate since that's the place to talk
- about the Newton operating system and the various Newton products from
- Apple, Sharp, Toshiba and (eventually) others.
