@jamesthomson Oh 'Calculator' on the WatchPad was originally yours - but Apple bought you out for £90million in 1998 when they committed to a huge expanded Newton program in-house.

@davidwengier @jamesthomson @NanoRaptor I love “alternate history”, but Nanoraptor might just as well have crossed over from the Fringe universe , or most likely The Counterpart universe. For now I believe they are documenting the history of the Counterpart reality.

@NanoRaptor @jamesthomson There were remarkable rumours about what that £90 million was spent on!

@davidh @NanoRaptor @jamesthomson Yeah, wow, that Time Person of the Year article sure was a bit of an eye opener. But as we all know the calculator dice Easter egg was really what drove the success of the iWrist.
