So did you ever try to put one on each side and accelerate to the speed
where your car started flying?
;-)
BTW, this thread reminds why I bought my first Newt (a 110, way back
when)
I had seen a demo on a 110 and was very impressed, but what really
impressed me was leaving my day-planner on my roof never to be found be
again.
(at least, not be me. The person that did find it enjoyed the credit
cards within to it's fullest extend! I wasn't charged though...)
Realizing immediately the advantage of data with a backup I purchased
the 110 the next day.
