Does that include the communication (fax/modem) package? Why selling? I'm interested — reply by EMail if you like. Dave

I'm a little confused… I've heard of a Sharp Wizard & an Apple Newton, but not of a Sharp Newton. Waddizzit? –MR, PC Mag

Sharp manufactures the internals for the Newton, and markets one of there own (Same software and everything, different looking case)

Oh yeah… OK. Trust me to forget the bug PDA story we ran back in October (well, I wasn't involved in that story, yeah, that's my excuse… 🙂 Do they still call this thing the ExpertPad, or is Sharp actually calling it the Newton, now? –MR, PC Mag

I think the new Newtons are simply Newton 110's. I believe they're going to upgrade the ROMs in the originals and rerelease them as model 100's model 100's

Your obviously a PC guy. 🙂 My question is, what about software updates for the Sharp Newton. I understand that there have been a bunch of OS upgrades and that they are somehow easier to get for Apple Newton than for Sharp Newton. Is the less good support from Sharp the reason this guy is selling so inexpensively? — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com

Never mind, I just picked up a Newton with connection kit, real cheap. Thanks.
