The Newton was a PDA rather than a computer. It was very limited compared to even the simple computers in its time. And it didn't work as described. A friend of mine who was running a small ad agency got some Newtons when they came out, and within a month they had been abandoned, sent back to the shop from whence they came. "As useless as tits on a bull" may have been said at the time. regards, Anthony -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
