....but I won my bid on a Newton 2100 on ebay last thursday and today it CAME! I have fallen in love with it already of course. More updates as I uncover more functionality, I swear!

The Newton was ahead of its time. Bulky and unwieldy, but ahead of its time none the less. :)

Score. The Newton is a fine device, but it was ahead of the time like Durandal said. It was certainly a better OS than PalmOS.

Welcome to the club. My MP120 is still in constant use.
