Hey, Ed...
First: This is a service you don't know much about.
There is no "general" area to post - if you post to
just your journal no one will see it. There is no
general community to which you could post something
like this.
Second: The thread started after an eMate user posted
to the Macintosh group asking for help.
A Newton Community has been started now on
LiveJournal, but the point was that the Newton is
still being talked about in a positive light.
However, it seems that some people can only talk badly
about good things. I don't quite know what to make of
your comment other than it's negative overtone... but
I do know that it's people like you that make me glad
I am a free optimistic thinker. Try not to be so
pessemestic next time?
