Why not try to use the MessagePad as a touchtablet for the desktop?
Imagine drawings on the newton side that can be instanctly used on the
desktop
So
- OS X has 'INK' (Newton handwriting recongnition) inside
- on the Newton side there's the 'Write Here' server
I really don't know what such a thing would need to go on, but i "feel"
it's a start
I read that Wacom tablets foundators, they were two men coming out
from the Newton handwriting recognition stuff.
Please recall me if i am wrong

Now now, not pointerless, just challenging.
If an Atari 800 can play movies, power hard drives, and connect
to DSL, and have a graphical GUI with a mouse a Newton can be given the
unique requirements to have mouse control.
As with everything in computers, do you want something to work
with something else? Well, write the drivers. Duh!
What? The Newton doesn't naturally look for a cursor? Add the
environment/shell that will be looking for it.
I remember when I was working with the EZ2VGA card and really
wished there was a mouse for the Newton. Hope we can figure that out
sometime.
Hmmm.. wonder if a touch tablet would be easier?

So it seems a mouse would be pointless (and pointerless :-) if used=20
with an eMate, that's all I wanted to know. If it can do all that
would=20
be needed from the keyboard, it would be all the easier, so a mouse=20
would be slower. It's just that I don't corrently have a newton with
a=20
keyboard (internal or external) but i will be getting a few eMates=20
soon, so I wanted to know if it would be a good idea or not, it seems=20
not, so i'll forget it. Thankyou all for you're time.
