Hey Mick,
Not to be schmuck, I never did receive an answer to my private inquiry to
you asking where these other Newton are going to. So, I'll air it to the
general forum. If these are going to "needy individuals and organizations" I
think, and I could be wrong here, These Newtons are the wrong thing for a
"needy person or organization".
To me, the priority for any needy person or organization would be: (1) money
and/or (2) a desktop computer. They don't need a luxury "frill" like a
Newton 2100 plus the host of peripherals that is needed to maximize it's use
can get expensive. Especially, for any cash strapped person/organization. I
know cause Im still trying to justify buying a Newton but just can't at this
time. Would they consider trading for a newly refurbished (by Apple), PB
5300cs? :-)
