I post occasional stories how - in using my Newton - I have
amazed/impressed/silenced those who denigrate it.
As radio reception is poor in our building, at lunch we now listen to NPR
streamed onto my MP2100 through a WiFi connection. At first people joked
about the "Mac radio" 'till I explained exactly what it was doing. Then they
hid their Palms and Pocket/PC/2002/Net/whatever devices.
I should add, although almost impossible to find, the original MessagePad's
"Battery Booster Pack" (Apple part H0018, holds 8 Aas, sise of a pack of
cigarettes) will give you 8+ hours of CONTINUOUS WiFi use; more (!) with
lithium AAs.
