Keep your Newton unless you are desperately in need of the money. I still
regret selling my first MP2k. That sucker worked flawlessly. In more than
three years of use, I never lost one single shred of information. A very
impressive accomplishment, no? No matter what Apple cooks up in the future,
the Newton will always be something special.
