All,
My last message has somehow gotten terribly mangled by the list server,
I'm sorry for that, I think it was my ISO-Latin-2 encoding, fixed now.
So, I repeat my most important question:
Is it still a good idea to buy a Newton now, or should I interest myself=
in other PDA's=3F
And is 200-250 UK Pounds a reasonable offer for an used MP2100=3F

I did some more research, and I found that at <http://metastasis.net=
/
people/mi(c)i/newton=5Fe.html> there are CE fonts for the Newton and
patches that add a Czech keyboard layout. So, strictly keyboard input
shouldn't be no problem at all.
However, I'm not sure what to do about the written input. From what
I've read, the only way to augment the recognizer is to add a post-
processing module. On the Newton Reference page <http://www.panix.com/
~clay/newton/query.cgi=3Flocale+index> there's this tidbit:

Unfortunately, the link is dead, but nevertheless, a similar utility=
for the Polish ogonki should be doable. If the recognizer can deal with
glyphs such as ' , - * in the middle of words, then the notation could b=
e
even pretty intuitive.

Well, then, are there any third-party solutions=3F For example, a
cradle that automatically connects to my Mac while recharging the Newton=
and a battery pack=3F
Thanks,
