Hmm..Green machines and Guiness...The James Joyce sounds like a perfect
spot, other than the lack of a backlight on the 120 :)
Not sure that all four of the new users will continue to use their Newtons
past the curiousity stage - one will for sure, and he's my dad (we both work
in IT at CPR)...He used to have a 2100 that got ripped off him during a
mugging here in Cowtown, and he's looking forward to having a Newton again.
The others - well, I'll just have to keep working on them. Like I said,
this is a young revolution yet.
Regardless, if there's any interest in a Calgary or Alberta based NUG
(however small), I'll be there. I was back in Toronto on business the
weekend of the Southern Ontario NUG, and had every intention of meeting up
with them (unannounced, but I figured they'd be easy to spot), but the
servers I was supposed to deploy were delayed in transit, and I had to work
that evening. Maybe another time, SONUG :)
