Re: [NTLK] might give up on newton- people... people...

 Exactly..
There is always going to be advances in technology, but the core functions
ofwhat the Newton does well, such as notetaking are still viable in this day
and age. Everybody thought that eMail would kill off fax machines. But I
can tell you that my workplace uses both. Has anything replaced paper (the
most primitive) media for taking notes, or other tasks? No.. Such is the
case with Newton. On it's own it is still a great device which offers
functionality that is useful no matter what advances have occured.

I totally 100% agree, surely the point is to celebrate the Newton for what
is it. A superb note, address, diary, email, safe storage, immediate on,
long battery life, portable, intuitive, handwriting recognition, durable,
simple, fun, device which has many hundreds if not thousands of active users

and supporters and a small but seriously important number of active
developers. Take for example as already mentioned: Blunt, Mailv, Adriano's
hardware, Doug's recent Newtway, and the exquisite iNewton which I am about
