I hear there are other third party keyboards also, and enough that maybe I'll just wait and see. I'm learning grafiti, and that needs ore practice anyway. I confess that O'Reilly book has a LOT about the pilot that fascinates me. I also have several software packages that came in the mail. The reason I love my Newton keyboard is that I can travel with just the Palm and the keyboard, which together are small and light.
Most laptops weigh substantially more.
If I want to go to a library or something, the Newton keyboard is all I need or want. But the keyboard is too small to be usable, and you need the giant, heavy, expensive desktop port replicator to hook up an external keyboard. Anyway, I can touch-type at full speed with a Newton keyboard, so I still bring the Newton keyboard even though I now have the Libretto. Sorry you had trouble with BuyComp. I swear I never had even a moment's trouble with them.
