Well...I have a new MessagePad 130 and am very pleased with it.  Not only is 
the handwriting recognition much improved over earlier versions, but I *AM* 
able to use for notetaking in meetings.  Furthermore, I'm pleased with the 
connectivity options.  I'm using Now Synchronize to keep my Newton up-to-date
W.R.T. my calendar and contacts on my home machine, and it appears to work
flawlessly.  

I'm just waiting for the Newton Connectivity software, which will make an 
excellent Solstice present.  :-)

As for having your comments about Microsoft...Bwahahahahaha.
