One of the three apps I use my MP2100 for, and I haven't had any issues at
the store other than the normal 5 people asking where I got my "shopping
buddy".
I have been using shopList, it's very crude - but useful.
I have installed and started playing with NewtGrocery, which is very robust,
too robust for regular shopping, but it can filter on selected/non-selected
items, showing your selection only. If shopList had this feature it would be
perfect.

Subject: [NTLK] Grocery list... and other existential questions (Palm vs
Newton)
Hi,
I have a Palm Tungsten E and a MessagePad 2100. Actually, I am using
the Palm but I am considering switching back again (sic!) to the Newt.
I will lost the gorgeous color screen of the Palm to show photos of my
son. I also will miss grocery list software (I use SplashShopper). But
I am tired of fighting with the machine to find a decent way to enter
data into it, and recurrent "black-outs" that wiped out all my data and
drive me nuts (at least, syncing is working well so I recovered my
data).
My questions are:
. Is there any good grocery list program on the Newt?
. Is it a good idea to carry the Newt at the stores (size, need of
both hands, etc.)
Thank you,
Martin
P.S. I hope to be able to clear up my mind soon on this old issue of
Palm vs Newton. I love my Newt but was unable to connect to my AirPort
Snow base station, and I fear that connections with my new iMac G4
would be more difficult since I cannot boot with MacOS 9. Advices on
these other issues are most welcome.
