Nope, other stuff.  One guy was Harry Vertelney who worked on a project
called Smartifacts.  He went into interactive TV and now he works on DARPA
stuff at Sun.  The other guy was Paul Mercer who worked on a project called
Swatch.  He founded Pixo which made the iPod interface and now he's doing a
startup doing OS design for phones.

Commercial plug: the relevant parts of their stories are on my PDA history
