Yes, I agree.
Rosetta is the key.
Once you use a NOS2.0 system's handwriting, Graffiti is really hard to
get used to. A bunch of people at MacWorld were telling me that Palm is
getting sued a lot for "messed up handwritting" from users that use thier
Palm too much. I also heard from a guy there, that someone is claiming
brain damage from Graffiti! Sheesh!
I do know one thing for sure. NewtonOS has CLEANED UP my handwriting.
Anyone else who agrees with me, raise your hand!
