Yes, but WiFi wasn't even on the horizon when Newton was still an
active platform. I meant that stuff that the Newton was meant to work
with simply works. You plug in your keyboard and your digitizer
doesn't mysteriously stop functioning. The way the Newton handles
memory cards is especially neat, at least on a par with Psion's.
