Erm, nice idea, but e-mailing a .ppt file to your Newton isn't going to
allow you to open and use it. You need to convert the .ppt on a Windows
machine first, then upload it to EZPresenter on the Newton.

What's silly (or dissapointing, more precisely) to me is the state of
Web browsing on the Newton today. As great as Newt's Cape is as a
general swiss-army knife of HTML and image conversion, HTTP
downloading, and Newton book creation, it falls short of providing what
I consider to be a usable Web browsing experience. Nethopper is closer
to the mark but missing some key features (foremost HTTP 1.1).
Lunasuite is promising but still slow and far too unstable.
So as cool as the Soybo technology is, I can't see it being much use
with any currently available Newton browser.
