The Launch
After years of development, GO Corporation officially introduced the PenPoint operating system at the Sheraton Palace Regency Hotel in San Francisco, California on January 22, 1991.
A “Program of Events” was distributed to attendees, which unfolded to 19″ x 23″. One side described key sessions; the other featured a full-sized PenPoint poster.

Reaching Developers
GO Corporation knew that the success of PenPoint depended on breakthrough software from leading developers.
PenPointers was the official newsletter targeted at software developers, with issues highlighting corporate updates, descriptions of new operating system features, hardware compatibility notes, and tips and techniques, among other information.
The Future Arrives
“Beam me up, Scottie–I’ve got the new AT&T EO Personal Communicator!” announced Ken-Maki’s comprehensive book about the EO 440.
The enthusiasm was clear. Readers were encouraged to push this groundbreaking device to the limit.
