A 2100 would be much, much better, but even it can't work miracles.
I don't use HWR for most of my notes because *I* can barely go back and read
what I wrote, yet alone expect my Newt to be able to translate them.
A good rule of thumb is that to expect good HWR, write as though you're
writing for someone else to read.
If I follow that rule, for instance when I compose e-mail, I can still print
briskly and reach near-perfect recognition. (Most problems are with caps/no
caps and apostrophes. Darn 'em.)
