I think most of us here would admit that the original MessagePad is a
far, far from useful when compared to the MP2000 or 2100. Though Mac
Addict doesn't refer to specific models, all of the criticisms are
fully justified for that initial release; and, as they say, if a device
of the caliber of the MP2000 was the first model to be released, the
story might have been very different.
