*chuckle* And this while there are $40 gizmos that will play CDs full
of mp3s, at full bit rates and in stereo. I think that this is at least
part of the "alpha-beta-dead" phenomenon you noted. While the Newton may
be able to do a given thing, it just doesn't do it as well as it should
to fit nicely into the "product space" as the core Newton function of
being basically a strap-on brain pack.

LOL! I mean to me, I resisted getting a portable MP3 player just
because I did not want to carry around an extra device and I liked using
the Newton. But alas, moderate luck as you can see.
Might look into getting something in my cell phone plan that is a
phone, MP3 player, camera, and uses MMC or something. One device is the
dream.
