Kind of like that program that'll let the newt talk to a palm pilot?
Can't remember the name offhand, but it'll send/receive notes, dates,
and names entries, not sure what else. I agree it's a good idea to have
the newton able to talk to newer devices. Especially if the newer
devices can't talk to each other (can palms talk to pocket PCs?)

That would be nice. NCU on mac can make RTF files with sketches and text
mixed; not sure if NCU on windows can, because I've never tried it.
Anybody who's used NCU/win care to comment? I'd like that for linux
too... ;-)

The WikiWikiNewt is an attempt to start that, but it needs people to
fill it in. I've already added a few things on connecting the newt to
linux/unix.
