- No, I haven't heard this was even an idea on a HP flipchart -- but wouldn't
- it be cool? If HP could put the functionality of a 48 on a PCMIA2.0 card
- and pipe the Newton pen interface to it, I think we would have an incredible
- calculator/organizer. The power of the Acorn RISC chip would allow the card
- to emulate the HP processor while maintaining full speed or better than a 48.

- HP'ers - any comments, thoughts?
