Trust me, I remember. I also remember trying to use Grafitti on my 1.3
Newton as well as Gesture Mosaic (a better, and free system) and also gave
up on that, prefering the natural writing style, complete with errors.
Actually, I stuck with it, and eventually "prevailed" over the Newton's
shortcomings was was able to write on that old thing about 25 wpm with
almost no errors. :-)
Maybe prevail wasn't the better term to use in the first case. Ah, that is
the foible of email. We write what sounds good to us at the moment, and only
moments after hitting the send button, we think of a better way to say what
we said, or worse, when we see our own words twisted out of their original
intent by someone else. Sorry to do that to you in your case. I see what you
meant. :-)
