[NTLK] Mac OS 8.5 vs. 9.2 for Newton?

[Forrest]

I too have a certain fascination with IRDA...but I think you'll find that after a bit, and especially with more data-intensive tasks, more modern data transfer methods are faster and more efficient.

It's too bad that IrDA's place in history will probably be more that of a novelty.

Thanks,
