[NTLK] Newton in an Apple Store

I'm not sure if anyone is still reading our assorted and random NTLK postings (read: email) on their Newtons...but....

I thought this would be an excellent time to remind the uninitiated that lots of leftover headers, footers, etc in email--like what's found below--really makes that reading tough. There's lots and LOTS of scrolling. So please, just cut and paste what you are responding to in your email response, and leave all that needless stuff out.

Of course, if no one is still reading emails on their Newtons, then...well, I guess, carry on.

Thanks,
