     More oddities:
     
     *	If you click on a letter to position the scrolling list in the
     	language translator, it puts the first word beginning with that
     	letter at the *bottom* of the scrolling list.  So you quickly
     	learn to click the letter *after* the one you really want.  Kind
     	of goofy...
     	
     *	The "overview" mode of the Address Book only shows last names.
     	It would be really nice to see first names and phone numbers
     	here, too.  Keeps you from having to tap again just to see a phone
     	number, and makes it easy to figure out which Smith you are
     	interested in.
     
     Cool stuff:
     
     *	I stuck a Newton PCMCIA card in my Zoomer, and it politely told me
     	the card was incompatible!  What is different?  Aren't they all
     	the same?
     	
     *	The file linking mechanism appears quite slick.  Basically, you
     	link your Zoomer to a PC running GEOS, and the PC file systems 
     	appear in your Zoomer file manager.
