[NTLK] FS: Newton equipment, software, accessories, chargers, battery holders

[Vladislav Korotnev]

It shows on page 130 for me… 

would be a great thing since I use my PDA at the university quite heavily. Switching between pen and stylus gets quite tedious during the first 2 classes already.

Even though I'm in the process of developing a program that lets you type and write simultaneously without distracting yourself into switching modes, a pen is still quite necessary :)




I'd also love to get a MP1x0 but apparently I bet I can't afford one at the moment, so that's a no-go.
