What would Dell do with it? considering have NO development team or
skills. and have never developed a single product. Stamping out Intel
designed Windows boxen doesn't count IMO, as I know several inbred
local boys slapping those together here. Although lately I must admit
they are smart enough to use AMD(the locals that is).

PS Anyhow the Buying Newton (from Apple) idea has been discussed way
past nauseam here. Developing a compatible OS on another hardware
platform seems the only realistic choice to continue "Newton" into the
future.
