Actually, for me, this is the greatest weakness of the Newton HWR, or=20
any handwriting, for that matter. On paper, my best time is something=20
like 25 words per minute. Typing, I average about 60 words per minute.=20=
The benefit of the Newton is that I don't have to be sitting at a desk=20=
or something, but can be standing, sitting, riding, etc. It's the=20
flexibility of where I can use it that the HWR comes in handy. This is=20=
why I carry my Newton everywhere, not my laptop. ;-) (ok, size is an=20
issue also... and instant-on, and battery life, and....)
