I used a newton and still have it a box. It was heavy and very slow. Graffiti didn’t work
very well either. Microsoft came put with their first notepad running Win/NT a few years
after that but it was slow too. I think Newton was just ahead of it’s time. The cpu’s
needed to run it efficiently had not been invented yet.

ACK
How do Palm Pilot's compare to the Newton?
I had someone I respect and trust make a lot of comparisons between a Palm T3 (?) I used
to carry and Newtons. He was even opening programs in a some sort of editor and comparing
things. I distinctly remember him saying that he thought there was some relationship
between the Newton and Palm. But I've never seen nor heard anything to corroborate
this.
