Re: [NTLK] Newton & knowledge management

Hmmmm, you might be surprised on how many of us are Windows based.

I primarily use my 130 and 2100 for note taking, actually writing food
reviews. I use the IrDA port to send them over to my Wintel Notebook in txt
format for archival and publication purposes. This method works flawlessly
and is quite enjoyable as hauling my notebook to a restaurant is out of the
question, but the Newton is pure joy and easy to deal with. I actually tried
this with a HP Jornada - nightmare.

Anyway, I'm off to www.apple.com to do some shopping. I'm still thinking
about one of those Mac Mini's.
