I too am 40's (41), and have had a newton 130 to start with, a 2000
(stolen!), and a newton 2100 (LOVE IT), with an emate on the way.
First things first, master the basics; Notepad, Names, Connecting via
serial , Calendar. I use mine as a mobile rolodex, for note-taking, do-lists,
small document creation, and sending fax'es.
Read the manual. Read the archives to figure out what you want to do.
Search the archives for info about what you want. Then post here describing
what you're doing to get any updates or suggestions. Then post back with your
success story!(Or your problems)
Good Luck!(You'll need it)
