I'd have to say I'm drawn to the Newton because I've been using it
since the mid-90s, and none of the current palmtop/handheld/tablet
computers on the market does what I need, or how I prefer to do it.
I'd rather stick by my trusty Newton than have to force myself to
adapt to another hardware platform that lacks the personal flexibility
the Newton has always offered me. Or, it could have just been because
of those pretty rainbow Apple stickers. I'll never know. ;)
Josef. ;)
