I go to Incredible Universe (like a Lechemere or Circuit City).. And I ask
the guy about the Z-PDA (they OEM them from RS).. I tell him I wanted to look
at the unit to see how well the char. recognizer works. He says "The Z-PDA doe
sn't transfer writing to text. Only the Newton does"! I said "Are you sure",
"yes" was the reply... I said "ARE YOU POSITIVLY SURE?".. He insisted it
didnt.
Boy did that guy look dumb after it recognized even MY chicken
scratchings. He wanted to sell me the Sony Magic Link for a mere $700 more.
And the Magic Link DOES NOT have char. recognition! The plan a PCMCIA card
upgrade that will do it... So I asked him...
If I will need a PCMCIA card just to be able to write to this thing,,,
Where will I store what I write once RAM in the unit it taken up with bug
fixes? I mean.. Know what I mean?
A typical electronic store job interview..
"does he have a pulse...He does? HIRE HIM!"
