I have a little Visor (Palm III look-a-like from Handspring) here
which I bought for a friend overseas. I had the opportunity to play
with it a little and I'm so happy to have a Newton ... The
handwriting on that thing is just plain awful. You have to write in
the style IT wants and not what YOU want to do.

You should be able to get a simple PC to MAC serial cable (NOT!! the
Mac to Modem cable, that would not work!!). Don't go to you computer
shop and confuse the guys by asking for a Newton to PC cable, that
would probably blow their minds as they most likely have never heard
of a Newton other than in "Fig Newtons" - and it's kinda difficult to
interface those to anything but your taste buds ;).
Hope this helps a little.
Happy new year to everybody ...
Chris
