What the hell is this about?
"Apple's Newton. 'Nuff said."

Have you ever used an Apple Newton? for more than 2
hours? Huh...your statement proves that not only are
you NOT clued in, you really don't know what you are
talking about. And by the shear fact that you made
such a statement as above, completly negates any
viability for anything else you could ever possibly
say.

Where did you get your job title from:
"David Coursey,
Executive Editor, AnchorDesk"

As a high-score winner in a bad Nintendo gameboy
cartridge?

Clueless monkey boys like yourself enjoy spreading FUD
to the masses. You're always hoping that what you say
will be repeated in the mainstream media...Either
that, or you haven't generated your own opinions and
all you can do is mimic those around you because you
lack the skill for real journalistic integrity! It's
exactly the comments you made above that caused the
Newton to have a bad name in the first place.
I feel almost compelled to clue you in, but I kinda
don't think it's worth my time. Based on your level of
cluelessness, you wouldn't get it anyway...Suffice it
to say, that I have been using a Newton for 8 + years
now (no, I don't have a Mac, and personally, I hate
Apple computers) But this doesn't negate my ability to
recognize a masterpiece of personal computing when I
see it.

I suggest that you spend some time researching what it
is you discuss in your columns before you spout
garbage like you did above. I mean, really....where's
your credibility? Don't you have a shred of the lost
art of journalistic integrity?! I'ld expect these
types of statements from Dvorak because he enjoys
immflaming the masses. You're supposed to be an
Editor...personal opinions don't count, especially
when you don't know what it is you talk about! Stand
up for your own ideas, don't just mimic the opinions
of the unwashed masses! Remember, they only reason
they think the way they do is because trash
journalists like yourself plant these seeds into their
head...You are part of a parasitic existance.
