Be careful with this. On the Palm IIIx I tried, the onboard calc didn't
support mathematical order (ie. 8+2*4=40 instead of 8+2*4=64) this was
rather annoying. I fixed it with an add-on program but was a bit shocked
the first time it disagreed with my head calculations...
Dunno if the newt has this problem as my calculator (a TI-82) is the same
size and I just carry it for heavy work.
Anyway. Glad to hear your thoughts.
