Hi Sushi,
------------------
>I'll have to take a look at his review. Since he is an ex-Newt user, I am
sure his review is interesting.
David M. had only moderate things to say about WinCE. Pencomputing had an
issue about WinCE, it was like reading 'how the Newton was started'.
------------------
>response is that he didn't see a difference between the OS's. Simply
amazing!
He's been looking at the wrong 'window' too long. ;-)
------------------
>Those of us who have been lucky enough to experience the Newt OS are
fortunate IMHO.
Some say cursed, some say blessed. I say totally freakin' fortunate! ;-)
------------------
>Too bad they pushed the first Newt out too soon and it got the bad
handwriting rap. When I demo my 2100, people are completely amazed at how
well it works.
Yup, Scully 'had' to introduce the OMP, but should have listened to the
engineers who had OS 1.2 in a MP110 form, beta, but presentable...according
to PenComputing mag.
------------------
>And anyone who has used Graffiti, or Crapfiti one of my friends calls it,
for a while can attest that it is a pain to use. Not only do you need to
use somewhat unusual strokes, you must remember which place you are writing
(numbers or characters). What I've heard from many folks is that at first
most find that Graffiti is easy to learn and use. Then as the
>time goes buy it seems to loose it's charm. They get tired of using it.
Worse than getting tired of using it, users notice their own regular
penpersonship suffers from the practice. I couldn't stand Graf., so I got
very used to the on-screen keyboard...then Newton OS 2.0 came out.
'Palm'?...yeah I've got two of those, no batts. :-D
------------------
>Sorry to be rambling. That's what happens when you are answering your
mail late at night and enamored with your little green friend! :-)

>Sushi
You should look at the times I post to newtontalk, mostly 2-5 am PST.
Yup, my little green friend not only keeps me in touch with friends but
nite-lights every step in the wee-hours of the morning.

!ooW %-)
My Newt. will still be productive way after the last Palm/Handspring is
six-feet under.
Pres. of Los Angeles Newton Users Group!
