Re: [NTLK] Defying Gravity

 I can try to scan the article if you would like. Let m= e try to do that
this weekend.. It's a great article, and highlighted some = features that
never made it to the shipping Newton. (i.e. Math recognition,= writing 2+4
would automatically be calculated for you.)

Wow! Is there any chance of p= osting the exact details of this article:
volume and date, and page numb= ers? It would be interesting to hunt this
down and read it.

As = I sit here looking at my trusty Newt, I think it might be cool to be
usi= ng some of those other labels, although it might not be easy to carry
th= at style through to rename all the Newt's basic functions. Still, it

Every time somebody else mentions it I= tell myself, "I really need to look
for a copy of _Defying Gravity_" --= I'd like to know more about my
Newton.

Thanks for posting this.

Shalom.
