I too use the cursive recognizer - I know that the print recognizer is
supposed to have better overall recognition, but it feels better to not
lift the stylus from the screen. I don't like the "tap tap tap" feel
and sound one gets when writing in print, especially on a newton or
other pda screen. My newton has become quite adept at reading my
incredibly bad cursive handwriting - a trick my professors at college
often have difficulty with.
