[NTLK] Thinking of giving it all up

[Tim Kaluza]

Well,

Newtons won't disappear. Worst Case make it a clock. (not destroying it!)
 
This product is history - at least for me, probably for all of us.

I was to young to get in touch with it being alive and new. But it fascinates me even now. 
I don't really use it. But I play sometimes, or leaving it by the telephone - it's a good notepad.
Waiting for the day it gets real work.
But most of time when I'm seeing it - I'm some kind proud of it. 

You said, you used it for a long time. Aren't there historic moments combined with Newton? 
Isn't it just a hobby but perhaps a part of your life? 

Even for me it mine is. 

Last but not least - you are a part of a community that has spread all over the world!


All the best from Bavaria!
 
Your's sincerely 
Tim Kaluza

Now I have no office, do mostly physical labor, and deal with a single vendor at work.  Not much need for an organizer these days and as for other software, my spreadsheets are too complex for Quickfigure, ebooks are easier on a Kindle, wifi is darn near impossible and wouldn't be much good given the screen limitations (too dark).
