		PenPoint is a new operating system designed and built from the ground up by GO Corporation for the unique requirements of mobile, pen-based computers.
		PenPoint’s Out Box allows users to initiate file transfers, send electronic mail and facsimiles, and print documents to any destination, regardless of where the user is and regardless of whether the pen-based computer is currently hooked up to a connection that could satisfy the command.
		PenPoint provides a standard address-book API so that the user’s favorite address-book application can be used to store addressing information integrated with the address-book information the user keeps for all other uses.

	Thoughts on The Power of PenPoint
		PenPoint's component model addressed many of the issues we're facing; they came up with a clean multilayered OS, and the ideas were in place for the creation of new interfaces at different levels in addition to the GO-supplied ones, should the OS have become popular.
		PenPoint uses Mac-like resources, whereas the modern approach is to use object orientation and save such data with the object.
		PenPoint solves object security issues with a keyed access approach, which separated access to an object into public and privately accessible functions.

	GUIdebook > Books
		This is a book intended not for GUI historians (presented here are common Windows and Mac OS interface elements), but rather GUI practicioners and beginner GUI theorists.
		Described here at length are a couple of dozens of most common GUI blunders (such as using radio buttons where checkboxes are appropriate), with real life examples and design rules.
		For those wishing to expand their horizons, this could be a demanding, but satisfying detour.

	Section 3: General
		This makes for easy "prototyping", which allows for objects to be constructed piece by piece at run-time, although the term "prototyping" in the context of delegation languages usually refers to objects serving as prototypes for object instantiation, or exemplars.
		o Open System DOME is an open system that provides an interface between all of a customer's applications, making it possible to share information between new and legacy applications.
		They must also be testable under different OS configurations, different compiler optimizations, etc. This means that testing modules must be constructed in a way which is recognized as correct and the modules must be shipped with the class libraries.
