VERY INTERESTING responses to the initial article. most of them say the same things over and over again. they expect us newton users to just stop using what works for us and to become part of the current age of losing,breaking, blending in of ipod-palm pilot users. not one of them ever said well this does the same thing. not one of them said that there is another product that touches our newton. the only thing they can say is it's big and it's old, but that is if u compare it to palms. i refuse to get pulled into the convo on slashdot as i feel its a waste. the do this at least 3 times year as if they need us to fill sum bandwith for them. bottom line, there isnt a replacement out there that will do for us what the newton does. no future ipod will do it no tablet pc will do it. we need a new newton. no more no less. give me a hammer and i will nail that phrase into the slash dots servers.

it's on the front page now too, with lots of links.

An anonymous reader with a lot of time on his hands writes "As seen on
Slashdot b e f o r e, the Newton refuses to die. Since Apple
discontinued it, it got ATA, WiFi, BlueTooth, ZeroConf and even a NES
emulator. Now, several mac news sites r e p o r t, Newton users founded
an association with John Sculley, who pushed the Newton at Apple, as its
honorary president. They're organizing a conference in Paris in
September. How long until all these users switch to new hardware?"
