Martin,
I have been able to wireless link my Newt 2100 (both of them) with my
Snow airport and a netgear 814 to my iMac G4. I use "Dock tcp/ip",
"Newtsync (with all the latest plug in's, and Escale (1.01. But there
are a wide variety of ways to sync or load packages.
What works for me: names and address book move very well for me. Like
others; dates, events, and to do's are much less certain. My notes are
copied back and forth relatively well with the occasional "note to big"
error or the "parenthesis"error.. I don't seem to have many Escale
problems as I am able to load packages and sync the keyboard. Others
have reported varying degrees of success.
I even get the Escale icon showing progress too.

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.
