Remember the eMate? I still have mine, but seldom use it since getting a PowerBook. For a PDA with word processing capability it was terrific. Connecting to the internet was inadequate, but for taking notes, writing up reports, and keeping track of meetings and tasks to do, it was perfect. And interesting. And it went for 24 hours or more (continuous use) between charges. Too bad Apple abandoned the Newton so quickly. ----------------------- Gina Wallace Topsham, Maine -----------------------
