- Yeah, but where can you get one?

- My take on the current Newton flap:
- It sounds great, and the picture of it I've seen are horribly horribly
- slick and way cool. But the lack of a keyboard and lack of immediate
- cursive recognition have kind of put me off. I just can't block write
- with any speed and until it'll recognize my script, or come with a keyboard
- attachment, I'll stick to my 95. I can two-finger much faster than I can
- block write. The modularity of it and the way its being designed around
- the Mac architecture is definitely the way to go though.
