I had a palm user tell me something similar.
He saw my Newt and was with a friend and they were
beaming stuff between a handspring and a Palm VII.
They looked at my Newt and said that I couldn't "join
in any of their reindeer games" because I had a
Newton. Then they proceed to laugh. I wrote "I don't
think so" and hit "speak" and let my newton tell them
personally! Then I fired up small dog's IRDA app and
proceeded to beam them my card...
Needless to say, you could hear a Newton whisper after
that...
