I actually worked on the 9000 Communicator when I worked for Geoworks in the UK, many moons ago.
We also worked on the Seiko Epson locatio, phone with PDA browser and GPS all in 1998, http://www.knorbury.co.uk/locatio.gif

I have just stared learning Erlang after more or less leaving Java, and the heavy weight world of J2EE. I was surprised how easy I have found learning Erlang maybe it just seemed to make sense, or it feels like the right way of doing things. I would be really interested in the book.

I also started with a ZX81, I still have all the docs that came with it, the ZX81 got binned while I was away at University to my horror. I used to play 3D Monster Maze on it all the time.
