I've tried them but wasn't able to even get the card recognized in my
Newton. Some people with the right brand of card were able, I think, to talk
to a Macintosh acting as a software base station, but I don't think that
anybody has ever been able to connect to a real base station. The beta
driver had a lot of restrictions, making its use problematic...

code grinder n.: A suit-wearing minion of the sort hired in legion strength by banks and insurance companies to implement payroll packages in RPG and other such unspeakable horrors. In its native habitat, the code grinder often removes the suit jacket to reveal an underplumage consisting of button-down shirt (starch optional) and a tie. In times of dire stress, the sleeves (if long) may be rolled up and the tie loosened about half an inch. It seldom helps. The code grinder's milieu is about as far from hackerdom as one can get and still touch a computer; the term connotes pity.
