Oh don't be such a hum bug (to the first person in this thread)
I have a 1 gig card for my Newton, and if it wouldn't take a full week
uploading to the Newton to fill that card up (transfer is SLOOOOOWWWWWW
to a ATA card, even over Ethernet) I would have that filled with music.
My Newton would be a Mp3 player. Oh yeh!! Love the Newton, and I would
love to carry more music with me. Is it the best? No, but it CAN do
it, and that just makes my fun PDA more fun.

I think the idea of having a mix of Newton and iPod (yes, with a *lot*
of imagination), makes newton even better. Many people was talking above
a new PDA from Apple, and I hope it will be iPod-Compatible or this
people will kill them.
