Hi Newtonians, Hi Frank,

Nice to see that ChatGPT answers with coution about multiple persons. What a nice AI system.

But, Is this right answer, Did you Frank worked in the former Newton Messagepad Team.

Thanks to have you here. Best Regards to all others active here for the best PDA since 26 Years or 30 if you encount the developing cycles !
