Mine is a first generation TiBook, and I only got it last year.
Your argument is only semi-solid ;=} as it always has been part of the
Mac-added-value that the individual CPU series used had stable and
reliable third-party upgrade paths, so you could keep the steep initial
investment in computer and peripherals working for you over a much
longer time...
Which is a problem for me as I'm unwilling to replace the perfectly
functional peripherals I have (Mac serial, SCSI, all on an old and
dying Performa) with new gear just because they don't play nice with
this friggin' PowerBook.

Very good! I have linked to that from the Blunt-Setup and the
MacOSBluetooth pages on the Wiki. Check
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/UsingBluetoothIndex ,
maybe you can contribute some stuff. Or perhaps even integrate your
HowTo to the Wiki...?
From Eckhart there is very little documentation on this (and I
rather have him work on Blunt 2 than do a job any newbie can do ;=} ),
so I always hope this can be produced by community effort. Bluetooth on
the Newton deserves a wider userbase--and better documentation.
