Now I know for certain I'm going to open newton and try to clean it. I live
in a very wet country (Holland)and I believe humidity influences the jaggies
(don't happen when in a nice warm and dry environment for a while. Think
there is some dirt there, that absorbs some moisture from the air and then
causes the jaggies.)

Jaggies? By this, I suppose you are talking about
where you place your pen down on one point on the
screen and it immediatley zooms to another point on
the screen creating a line between the two points?
I have found that when my newton (both my 120 and 2000
did this) I would grab the newton at each end and
kinda flex it in a gentle twisting kinda way. (bear in
mind, you do this on your own volition and I am in no
way coercing you or guaranteeing that this won't do
anything even worse to your machine.
My theory is that there is a connection problem that
is causing the screen to have glitches in the touch
sensitivity. By flexing the machine, this "cleans" the
contacts somewhat and reinforces an existing
electrical connection. (btw, I do this with my cell
phone and anything else that is giving me
problems...seems to work every time!)
