BackTalk has got to be one of the most effective ways to impress a Palm
user. An acquaintance of mine who gawked in disbelief at the fact that I
was still using a Newton, ultimately shut up when he couldn't remember
how to get his Palm to receive a beam. My Newton was patiently waiting to
send him my contact information, but he finally gave up and apologized
for his hardware being flaky. I told him that when he finally got his
Palm working correctly, he could come back and I would still have the
message in the queue for him...
