I've since seen his posts on AtariAge, and also a post from someone who just
got a lot of items that came from a former TI engineer which appears to 
include
an official TI 99/4A  Plato Terminal Emulator. Very interesting.   

Speaking of notesfiles, Ray Ozzie is in the news lately with his crypto
proposal to allow one-shot unlocking of smartphones by the factory under court
order, using a an encrypted PIN. It sounds workable, and it's a brilliant
scheme, but it still seems to
me like key escrow by proxy. To me that's scary, especially when the proxy is 
public corp, in this day of secret courts and  FISA 
warrants for things that seem about as serious as, or as much of a threat to
national security as, a pile of unpaid parking tickets.
