Au contraire, I'm completely rational.
Just irritated that I have to continue to endure your wacky fanboy
fantasies.
The fact that you consider your inane drivel rational, is the real joke
here.

My CHOICE is to wonder why you see the need to use sock puppets.
And make yourself look foolish - (more so than you have already)

My CHOICE is to KNOW, beyond ANY doubt that you are a troll, a moron
and that you suffer from delusions of some kind. Thinking you know all
when in fact it has been demonstrated, time and time again - you know
zip, nada, zilch.

Oh, BTW, your infallible Apple - ISN'T - Leopard Has More Holes than Spots

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895...LBOE110307STR1

Leopard's firewall is a mess, say researchers, shutting off by default and
allowing connections even under "block all."

Security has slipped backwards on the evolutionary ladder in Apple's latest
Mac OS X release, security researchers say, with Leopard's firewall having
more holes than its namesake cat has spots.

"The short answer is the Leopard firewall is ... ugly and a step backwards
from 10.4," said Rich Mogull, an independent security consultant .

Oxford - Stick to one name - you moron.
This sock puppet **** is indicative of what an ass you continue to be.

I have no idea why you do it, but it really makes you worse than you already
do.

Not quite as much as the actual content of your fanatical fanboy fantasies.

But certainly the sock puppets - along with the completely wacky **** you
post
show all who have to endure it - that you have a very tenuous grip on
reality.

There are meds that can probably treat your disorder.... get help.

The mystery of that question is clearly in your court. Nobody has come
up with any "crucial" contribution she has made to Apple/SJ.

So it's fully up to you to share your "secret" or forever play the fool.

So, Elmo... who is Adele Goldberg, and what crucial role did she play
in Steve Jobs's world?

For some reason you can't come up with an answer. Everyone will be
laughing at you until you do.

how could they come out with a PDA before the acronym was coined by
Apple? They didn't. Sure there were other devices, just like there were
other MP3 players, computers, before Apple "set the standard" everyone
users today. The iPhone is no different. Everything has to match up to
those high goals are they aren't considered quality products by the
public or the reviewers.

Thus no PDA could have happened before the first "PDA" was created.
Apple / CEO John Sculley clearly created that word/term/acronym. Look it
up.

But it wasn't a PDA, the term wasn't used or created until August 3, 1993

Yes, but Facts are Facts... you can't change them now.

the truth hurts sometime

The term "personal data assistant" was first used on January 7, 1992 by
Apple Computer CEO John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, Nevada, referring to the Apple Newton. PDAs are sometimes
referred to as "Palms", "Palm Pilot" or "Palm Tops"

I never use sock puppets, i only use Pen Names, get used to it.

Why? Pay attention to the valuable content I offer, ignore the Pen Name
since that matters the least within the packet of info provided.

Meds? I'm quite rational and post topical information. Try it sometime.

yes, but in this instance it is 100% factual.

there is no "if", it's a fact he is the first to do so. what has gotten
lost in the shuffle is the Newton still remains the only PDA. the "A"
stood for "Assistant", that actually asked you questions, no common PDA
or "Pocket Organizer" ever did that pre-PDA or post-PDA.

The "A" in the Newton allowed the software to anticipate the behavior of
the user and act on those assumptions. For example, Newton would filter
an AppleLink email, hyperlink all of the names to the address book,
search the email for dates and times, and ask the user if it should
schedule an event.

Pretty slick, nothing comes close to it even today.

> Before that, the term "Pocket Organiser" was often used.

yes, and those were Pocket Organizers, or PO's even PDO's, but not PDA's.

I'm amazed that so many take this oxford boy seriously! It must be an
american troll, since almost anyone in Europe can see that the iphone is
appr four years behind the models we are using today.

iphone is a teenagers toy... nice looking but very little of a phone...

yes, and he edited these 83 references as well, that oxford is amazing!

learn your history, the term PDA came directly from Apple.
