Hi Ikem, WOW.....
I have "only" owned 5 Newton's in my 4 months as a "user". A 2000,
three 2100's and a 130.
But I have sold three of them and have only got the 130 and one of the
2100's which was brand new, from a very pleasant ex Apple employee in
Australia, had it sitting in the bottom of a cupboard unused!! Can you
believe it?
I am using OS X Panther, and I don't have any problem syncing using
Ethernet or even a Wi-Fi connection. What woes are you experiencing?
I am thinking about Bluetooth, and using it with my mobile (SE T610)
phone when I am out and about.
What is your Bluetooth set-up, phone, Bluetooth card etc.
Kindest regards
