<<I own a Message Pad 2000 and love the Newton, but I think producing PC laptops with Apple's trademark of industrial design would have done wonders to Apple's pocket book.>> Imagine Apple marketing a re-tooled Powerbook that boots up in Virtual PC that runs Windows software faster than a regular Snail-Inside PC. It would sell great as a Wintel laptop. Then the hacker community would find the "secret" and create an underground movement to remove the Windows boot and reveal the true Mac. As for the Newton, I think that if Apple markets the Mac lite and opens it to cloners, they can really gain some market share and a few dollars to boot. Since Apple was never really making big money on Newton to start, they'll never miss the cash that goes to clones. Just charge enough license fee to break even on the cost. Where they make it up would be the Mac-Lite owners who are encouraged to buy regular sized Macs. -Bill_H
