In Ed's testimonial I only read about people linking to notes, linking to
groups. I was looking for more testimonies of how Newton owners "show off"
their Newt.
What you mean with OS, and also Ed with linking, is the way the Newton OS is
designed, and as such the apps created on top of it. The OS is still one of
the most innovative ways to work with information. When you come from a
window$ environment where each app exists on its own and work with
information in it's own proprietary way, it comes as a shock. But once
you're hooked, you'll never let go. How did I even manage information before
my Newt ?
Best regards,
Pascal
