I used to use a 120 w/ 1.3, and while it was not as accurate as OS 2.x, I
got pretty good results with it. I used it as my main computer for months on
end. I would write email, letters, etc. while I traveled, and it did the job
just fine. I think that its editing facilities (which all other HWR systems
seem to be lacking) made a big difference, but really, I never thought it
was a deal-breaker--and I was writing multi-page emails and letters. It
wasn't bad at all--and my handwriting is _not_ the best. I'm a leftie whose
wife can't even read my handwriting...
