I can vouch for the fact that Evan left practically no stone unturned in
his research.  In fact, I am amazed at Evan's ability to uncover ancient
stories and information, and then follow breadcrumbs from those sources to
even earlier sources.  Evan has uncovered a wealth of previously unknown
(or at least "lost") information about the history of the PDA, all the way
back to the early 1970s.  Very cool stuff.
