Is this the same Graffiti that was used on the Newtons?

Nope, not the same animal, Newton didn't use Graphitti, rather it used an Apple designed proprietory hand writing recognition engine.

The Newtonsoftware learned how you wrote and adapted. The Graffiti software requires you to write the letters a certain way for recognition.

bah. yes it was the same graffiti.
if noone remembers, palm made graffiti for newton back in the day. it was a pretty good implementation, worked as well as it does on the palms.
the built in, native input was calligrapher in the 1.x machines, and rosetta in 2.x, graffiti was just a package you could install.

anyhow yea its the same technology, so its gotta be covered under the same legal stuff as wat they're getting sued for now.

i just wonder whats gonna happen to graffiti now, im suprised xerox let it go this long... i suppose they just need some extra money, with the times and all.

Don't forget, sine, that OS 2.x had two separate recognizers - rosetta for print, and another for cursive (paragraph?)

i never used the cursive anyhow :]
