I've heard only glimmers of this and suppose it is too early to hear
much more, but...  or has someone seen anything?  According to our
local (Twin Cities, but I suspect some other towns get these exact
stories) monthly computer newspaper and another item somewhere, Bill
Atkinson of HyperCard and MacPaint fame has left Apple to form the
company General Magic.  The handheld device is for "transmitting
images, text, and graphics to host computers or other devices via
telephone wires or airwaves (!) ...aimed at the home market..."

well?
