I've just finished reading the Apple Design book and decided to share my revelations: When Jobs came back aboard Apple, he killed every projectthat had been the brain child of John Scully. This included the Duo and the Newton. The reason I mention this in context with the book is that thebook was published shortly after Jobs came back, before these projects were canned. Both were mentioned in the book as being high on Apple's list of items for the third generation design group. In fact they showed"teaser" pictures of what we now know is the iMac and iBook and included in that grouping was a "fruity" colored Newton detail and sub-notebook computer. Sculley canned Jobs. Sculley prophecized about the coming of the sub-notebook and PDA and launched both types of products at Apple. Jobsgets even with Scully, kills his dream, buries his seeds, and changes Apple's focus back to computer appliances: The all-in-one computer that does everything you'd want it to do. I'm afraid we won't be seeing asub-notebook for some time to come. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
