At the risk of sounding ignorant (as good a word as any) could someone tell
me, what is the standard of HWR in Einstein, and how is it accomplished? Is
it ParaGraph/Apple, or did they have to do something else to avoid legal
conflict?

The more of this thread I read, the more desperate I start to feel. All
things break down; sooner or later it's inevitable that I'll be forced to
rip my dead right arm and right leg from my body and bury th-- err, I mean,
forced to close the door of Newt for the last time and submit its dead
remains for recycling and disposal. After that, if Apple or somebody hasn't
given us a new Newton -- I mean the real thing, with full and proper data
integration, the ability to sketch and draw in a Note, genuine,
full-blooded, real-time HWR, and all the rest (and let's not forget Assist!)
-- well, what am I supposed to do for the rest of my life?

 
Shalom.
Christian
