NO, I dont' think it will come back either, but have to admit I was surprised
at how fast we all forget! www.newton-inc.com was the official site after
Apple spun it off. Apple NEVER owned newton.com until just recently. Why did
they acquire it and let go of newton-inc.com (it's available for sale according
to www.networksolutions.com)? Maybe the same reason Apple bought MyApple.com
and has never advertised it: just covering their bases so that some rival
doesn't buy it and produce anti-apple info on it... ?
