I am similar finally coming back to a 2100. I am soooo happy. My
daughter is now using an old 120 and my son wants a Newton now.
First thing to do is check www.thisoldnewt.com and the Newtontalk
archives and www.unna.org and the faq at the tag line. These will go
along way.

sync with iCal and address book is coming and is here by using NewtSync
or nSync, whatever it is being called. But it works with the addy book.

NewTen is an installer that runs native in X. But just an installer
Kudos to John for his work

NCK works in classic mode :(
It will work with the keyspan and is needed unless you do Appletalk. I
use the keyspan and it works great.
If I could program I would write NCK for X. Alas I cannot program and I
do not have the time to learn. Those darn Master degrees keep me going.
