Apple Discontinues Development of Newton OS

CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/

Apple Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL - news) today announced it
will discontinue further development of the Newton operating system
and Newton OS-based products, including the MessagePad 2100
and eMate 300.

``This decision is consistent with our strategy to focus all of our software development resources on extending the Macintosh operating system,'' said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim CEO. ``To realize our ambitious plans we must focus all of our efforts in one direction.''

Apple is committed to affordable mobile computing, pioneered by the eMate, and will be serving this market with Mac OS-based products beginning in 1999.

Apple will continue to market and sell its current inventory of MessagePad 2100 and eMate 300 computers, as well as to provide support for their installed base of users. The Company is committed to working with its customers and developers to ensure a smooth transition to Mac OS-based products.

NYCDAUG has continued
to EVOLVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO EMBRACE ALL PDA'S, THEIR PLATFORMS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.

HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL CONTINUED THIRD PARTY SUPPORT FOR THE NEWTON PLATFORM FOR MANY
YEARS TO COME.

So, although the following news might be shocking, it does not mean all is lost. It just means we will have to learn how to be a bit more visionary - thus was the formation of NYCDAUG, the New York City Digitial Assistant Users' Group from NYCNUG, in order to preserve the group as a PDA group.
