Stuffing ROM

[Frank R]

> Jean-Louis Gassee 
   
  You mention a name I haven't thought of in a while.
   
  The group/company I worked with in the early 90's did some interfacing with him
  and the Newton group when the first wave of PDA hoopla was happening.  
  Also interfaced with MS at the time, on their First Generation PDA OS.
   
  Unfortunately, Nobody made any money, and lots of plans never saw the light of day.

  There were many discussions those days about things that have finally happened:
  - Stuffing TCP stacks into ROM
  - Stuffing good voice reco into ROM
   
  Those were really interesting times for me.

  There was at one point inside Apple a very serious discussion about 
adding a TCP stack to HyperCard and stuffing it into the ROM. This 
was a year or more before the Internet exploded. The guy who promoted 
the idea got show down by Jean-Louis Gassee and left the company. 
Just imagine....
