Always loved your site, and my DataRover thanks you too. I have a couple 840s and one of the original Sonys. There was nothing quite like these devices, and they were way ahead of their time.

I have one of the CodeWarrior dev kits with the Mac emulator around here somewhere too.

Thanks! Glad you found the site useful. Unfortunately, we were too far ahead of the time in lots of regards--processors were slow, screens were bad, battery technology iffy, no mobile data service that normal humans could afford... These days an iPhone costs just as much as a Magic Cap device did, and you can definitely see that that's what we were trying to accomplish, but there was no way for General Magic to stay in business long enough to see it realized.
