I am going to push the idea you already have heard from me.
My answer is "Yes."
I would like to see a quick, easy, short monthly Newton publication,
small enough to fit into a Newton's case, and consisting mainly of tips --
very concrete information on using the Newton; a kind of "Cheat sheet."
Then, quarterly, the larger Newton magazine would come out. Much like New
Media News (our best current newsletter), it would contain *sponsors*
rather than advertisers......
As to media:
My answer is "Yes." Each publication should be faxable, printable, and
downloadable, at the discretion of the users. (Note: sponsors will
probably want print!!) Note that the short, monthly newsltter can contain
pointers and indexes to the longer articles available online.
