You know, there's a lot of hardware (I'm thinking dataloggers and
scientific hardware, and GPS too as you say) out there that having a
little keyboard, a Newton, and STILL one serial interface open would be
a great combo. Especially coupled with NewtBASIC so it's comparatively
easy to do the coding, not too much of a learning curve.

Best of all, IIRC Donald lives near me! :)
