Yes! We are going to use these technologies.
We want to be realize "STAR TREK" taste of computing. It is not a computer
but a logical robot like "R2-D2" or "Doraemon".
Last month, I have a demonstration in Apple Japan. I used some movies on
my presentation. The knowledge navigator movie was one of them.

Hmm.... Word has a serious important function and the other applications
does not have. So we choiced it.
For the people writing AppleScript, AppleWorks is awful application
and poor AppleScript terminology.
Our choice is to develop rapidly and simply using AppleScript.
The first version of Newt On--can search address-- was only 100 lines
of AppleScript....
The rich AppleScript function of Microsoft Word made it.
I had a demonstration of Newt On in MacWorld Expo/Tokyo to Macintosh
Business Unit of Microsoft.
They gave us a lot of help :-) They love Macintosh very well.
