I don't agree with several things she said, but what I found interesting is her reaction to using the Newton.  And found it so shocking that it used AA batteries?  The only shock I had from that is they hadn't leaked at all.

Why be dumbfounded at the "tapping this does nothing".  It is quite obvious it is part of another package and doesn't have a direct interface.  I never had any of the problems she did using a Newton.  I took to it like a duck to water. :)
