I agree completely, but I guess we nudists of Newton are a minority
based on the case threads over the years...
I put the Newton into my larger briefcase/bag if I am going on a
technical trouble call, otherwise I carry it naked. If I have my big
bag, then I also have an AC adapter, a spare battery, my modem,
ethernet card and wireless card (I keep the Bluetooth card in these
days.
True the newtons case is pretty beat up, but hey, it still works
PERFECTLY and has never lost a bit of data.
