Not this time Rich,
This is not easy
I've had this Palm for over a month now and although seeing them and even
using my mates a couple of times I still thought they couldn't touch my
Newt. I was 'Newtless' for a while when I killed my old one and used this
Palm extensively. When I was 'reunewted' it wasn't the same. I'd got used to
this small colour screen.
That's the thing, the colour screen. I even toyed with the idea of a
replacement backlight but it's time to move on. Newton is not practical for
me. It's far more than a PDA but I don't need it.
One last thing,
When 'Newtless' I looked for a replacement on eBay. I just missed one but
emailed the seller (Larry Brenner, who occasionally visits the list) who had
a couple up for grabs. I'm not accusing Larry of theft but the Newt never
arrived. The moral of the story is make sure it's insured!!
Deep respect to all
Ian
