The original's handwriting was based on word recognition, whereas the the OS 2.0 Newtons (130, 2000, 2100) the recognition changed to letter by letter. If you printed clearly, the 2.0 handwriting recognition was *almost* perfect! As for the original, have a search on Google for the many parodies. The best one was on the Simpsons, where Nelson asked one of his cohorts to take a note on the Newton to 'Beat up Martin' - it ended up 'Eat up Martha'! Seeya Rod!
