Re: [NTLK] Newton: Expensive waste of time

I've found that the Newt is great for "cleaning of
desks" It's far better than any of those smaller P*lm
sized devices.
Here, try this...close the Newt so that the protective
flip screen is covering the display (advange
Newt...P*lms don't have this)
Place the Newt long edge down against the desk-top
while grasping the Newt on the oposite long edge
firmly. Now, in one sweeping motion, run the Newt
across your desktop. The weight/mass of the Newt
coupled with it's stronger design and larger size
makes clearing a desktop quick and simple! Using a
P*lm type device, you'ld need 2-3 times as many
sweeping motions and perhaps 2 or three P*lms due to
their flimsy design.
Go ahead and try it. It will amaze you!
As for the dishes, I'm sure that there is a
NewtonScript or a Dashboard script that will do
this...
