Kalos irthes! :-) (welcome back!)
I use my newton every now and again - my project is to try to use it for taking notes in class in Septermber ;-)
My main problem with the newton, for day to day use, is that I have a TON of contacts in Greek (and lots of events in Greek) on my Mac, and those don't translate over to the newton. I hate going back to Greeklish now that I'm used to the Greek alphabet :-)
I'd be interested in hearing how you deal with this issue if you do indeed have this issue ;-)

My main complaint with all these devices was actually the battery life. In a way that the devices were ALWAYS without juice when I needed them the most! Ahh, Murphy's law I suppose. Plus the realization that my main usage of these devices involved taking notes, a task not suited for their small screens. (If only iPhone had a stylus and HWR...)
>Anyway, I just bought a near mint Mp2000 (I always preferred their case, I do not like the MP2100s). It had most of the original bits, dongle, cables, stylus, manuals, disks, and one dummy card. And the backlight was bright too.
