I think that right without any enhancement, the Newton carries more data
than the Palm can take, so it's already hard to synchronize. Now, if you're
adding more infos to the pack, it will be even harder because you'll have
even more information that you won't be able to sync with your Palm.

will ever admit to having learned the language. Its very name is seldom

Edsger W. Dijkstra's famous observation that "The use of COBOL cripples the
mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."
