Yes. I was at DisneyWorld in October and I was interviewed by someone that
had a 2000 with the cover removed. They had them all over the park. All
the ones I saw had backlit screens so they were 2000 or 2100's I guess.
The reason I was in Orlando was for an American Public Transit Association
(APTA) conference. There were 25,000 people in attendance plus 4,500
vendors staff. The majority of vendors that were scanning business cards
were using Newtons for that activity. Apparently a company in Van Nuys or
Ventura California makes the software and hardware for scanning business
cards into the Newton. At a number of convention centers, Orland and
Oakland, you can rent the units from the convention services group.
Also, at the Orlando conference, iMacs were very visible in the private
sector vendor booths.

Subject: NTLK Newtons at Disney
Hi All,
I just got back from my holiday at Walt Disney World, in sunny Florida and
I just thought that I would pass along this little bit of info. At the
gates to all the parks they had people who were taking servey information
from random guests as the entered and left the parks. They were using
Newtons to do this, but I could not tell what model they were but I think
they 2100's. My wife and I were surveyed three times twice during the day
and once at night, and they were all almost identical units. They had a 4
meg ram card and they used what looked like emate pens on the machines.
I talked to one of the polsters and he was shocked that other people still
use the Newton.
Cheers,
David
