I own about half a dozen fountain pens and I find the experience of writing aesthetically pleasing. So writing on the Newton just seemed a wonderful way to bridge my aesthetic desires with modern technology. I already used a Franklin Day Planner so the size wasn't an issue to me. It is my daily workhorse, business meeting notetaker and email machine. I only use the desktop to cover MS Office and desk research. Less distraction when working on a Newton. It just goes to show how different criteria and circumstances can lead to different decisions. Hi Aaron

Less distraction when working on a Newton.

What model did you have? When did you have it? I'm curious about your experience. Writing it made me nostalgic myself. Even while I was looking for pictures for this, I started to think about getting another one. I think if it were modernized, it would be really awesome device... I think though that Amazon's Kindle is really just a step away from the Newton... I didn’t know you had a Newton. What model did you have? When did you have it? I’m curious about your experience.
