There might be something causing the unit to reboot upon trying to
perform some operations. Whenever it reboots, the Newton should give you
an alert explaining the cause of it. Do you get that error?
BTW, did you do a "hard reset" when you got it? If not, God only knows
what could be running on that 2100...
