Just got this PDA and it's way more useful that I thought originally!
I wish I could have gotten a 2100 instead but I got this one for only 30£ so I immediately took it :D

I had one of those exact models, and I would counter with no, no it’s not. Even if I thought it would be zero on the useful scale, my experience was that it was negative useful.
Maybe the newton just doesn't like you
The feeling was mutual!
Fair point
I loved mine. The handwriting recognition wasn’t great on the original newton, but the rest of it was useful.
Apple’s mistake was in making each subsequent model bigger instead of reducing the size, thickness, and weight. Handspring pretty much proved that, and was even the first PDA with a cell phone option.
