It's funny how much different personal experiences color the world. Many
people find the Newton perfect for the above. Part of the quoted user's
problem is obviously attitude. It started off rather reasonable, don't
you think? Then it became decidedly unreasonable.
I know someone who is similarly pissed off at fountain pens. I happen to
love my fountain pen. And I like my Newton, as well.
My recommendations: 1) sell the Newton to someone who will like it
2) Stop shopping at CompUSA
