Go "Extras/Setup/Setup" and tell yer Newt how ya hold yer stylus (align the
stylus/screen/digitzer-combination). That improve results any?
Maybe also twiddle with spacing of your hand writing, you can tell the
Newton how wide your writing is (= how much space to expect between letters
in a word and still count is as *one* word).

Using the Newton with the back of your fingernail also works nicely (e.g.
for reading books - want any? Check below or UNNA), but not writing (as you
don't see what you already wrote because the finger is in the way).

>Do i have to get used to hold the pen?

Who knows? Time will tell. I seldom use the pen, only when entering data,
not when looking up stuff or reading. The 2x00-pen is a bit clumsier to
extract than the 1x0's nice telescopic stylus.

>touching it now.

If you get results, it works. Check the stylus alignment as show above,
should help making things more responsive.
When I got my Dr. Gruendelstein MP 2g00, there were some cheap plastic
styli that came with it. They are very flexible and bend, thus taking some
pressure of the screen. Some people prefer these for the nicer writing
experience to the original aluminium stylus.

>I found a perfect screen and i do not want to spoil it: :-D

Lucky you, lucky Mark Ross, I'd say. Search archive for him and drop him a
mail. Maybe there's somewhere a European distributor for his screen protectors?

Enjoy your new toy,
