    Well I just got my Apple Newton via ebay last week. Iluvit!
    The handwriting recognition is really amazing.
    I'm waiting on a wireless card for it so I can sync it to my laptop, etc.

        No, they did not. The Newton line lasted from 93-97.

        Now, you can only find them via ebay or online somewhere.

          That's what I thought... However, the Mac Rumors site has been talking about Apple possibly bringing them back, so I thought I'd missed something. Anyway...I just use my iPod for all that PDA stuff.

            I used to use my iPod for calendar stuff...but i edit and enter alot into my schedule as the day goes by...so i didn't like the read-only aspect of the iPod.

            i ended up writing notes to myself and then going home and entering them on my mac and then syncing

            drove me batty :)

            hopefully one day the iPod will not just be read-only for calendar
