Hi everyone,

In an otherwise "old news about Newton" Wall Street Journal article, there was
a mention that the handwriting recognition bug might be caused by disconnecting
the power adapter without shutting down the device or by alkaline batteries
that were running low. "Apple says this behavior is caused by the way the
software and the electrical systems interact....Apple says it will fix it in a
new version of the software now being written."

Has anyone else heard anything conclusive about that yet? 


Ken, how did those Beaming Bistro pictures turn out? :-)

     Be Bold!
