To single out Apple as the culprit is to ignore one important aspect of this most delicate issue [Newton/eMate and education market]. If education is to stay abreast of new and important technologies, the educational institutions must insist on having these technologies while they are still new. Inherent in that position is the risk that a select new technology may have a short product cycle. The pace of development in information appliances is at a staggering all time high. New products become yesterday's news with each successive quarter's passing. To simply shrug off the institution's supplier of advanced technology because a particular product is discontinued, flies in the face of good common sense. There are many uses for the eMate as an educational tool. It remains an advanced technology today. But it has no growth potential in its current form. Apple, as well as the educational community and other information appliance consumers, will benefit from the product shift. In a recording session with Johnny Cash, a singer asked as they were about to go through a song for the first time, "Is this practice?" Mr. Cash responded matter of factly, "They're all practice." And so it goes with with the development and marketing of high technology information appliances. Each product cycle is but practice for the next. Good hunting, HerbVic
