I just got the post on NTLK from Mr. Thomas Campos announcing that his company now has a name (Real-World Software) and that they are "still" interested in the Newton. I for one am pretty skeptical that they are in any sort of negotiations with Apple for purchasing rights to the Newton (unless you call unanswered emails negotiations). I am also leary about this whole thing because there hasn't been a word of it anywhere other than NTLK and from Campos. I know Apple is good at keeping secrets, but I would have thought that someone would have caught wind of this by now if it was for real.

Anyway, those are some of my thoughts. What are everyone elses?

I agree. I've also heard that Apple has the Newton stuff pretty jumbled. And by the way, nice post.
