- Maybe this is really the crux of the issue? :-)
-
- Seriously, looks like the consensus here is that everyone wants a Newton.
- I've been reading a bit about it recently and it is interesting. However
- the original article was titled a NON-TECHIE VIEW OF NEWTON and all the
- posts I've seen appear to come from techies (I think that most people
- that post to the net would be classified as "techies" in my experience).
-
- Guess we'll have to wait until it hits the stores to see if "non-techies"
- really want to plunk down something like $1000 for one of these things.
- Personally, I could not justify that kind of expenditure for such a product
- at this point. Maybe you guys can. Great - then I can borrow one of yours and
- play around with it; maybe you'll change my mind! Should be interesting....
