Going back to the Newton

Going back to the Newton has made me realise just how good the handwriting recognition was (even on the early models). When I started using a palm there were only two choices for data entry: tapping away at an invisible keyboard displayed on a miniscule display OR learn graffiti. Given my less than perfect vision I opted for the latter choice which has led to a corresponding reduction in the quality of my handwriting. Between my computer and my Palm V, the only real writing was cheques. The other downside to the Palm was that the notes were still too hard to read.
