In a year or two theyre both going to be so mainstream but it was us who started the revolution! If you dont have either of his albums buy them - there a good laugh but also he manages to string a few catchy riffs together. What a character.

Most however, were technologically impressive but mis-directed. Most triggered an avalanche of copy cats. As a side note, some folks from 3Com who were part of the PDA adventure were talking about how marketing totally screwed up the concept. They said at first, the PDA itself wasn't the focus point, the craddles were the important devices. The craddles were supposed to be extensions from anything in your home, think x10 homes, and the device would have a repository of functions and a front end GUI for everything from controling your home, to groceries, etc. Great concept, marketed backwards, upside down. Wonder how this world would be if it had been marketed like that... You looking at it, I can’t see most as failures per se, stupidly marketed, yes and maybe.
