NOTE WELL, Mark: I am *NOT* suggesting that you are guilty of this. I know full well that you know what you are talking about. There are plenty of people here, though, who really weren't there and had no way to know what was really going on. The only reason I (in particular) know anything at all about the Newton is because I bought one when they were new (an MP120) and later picked up a used MP2000. Most everyone in the non-suitly side of my company bought one, and most everybody I knew in the area bought one, spanning several companies and several social groups.
