I have to admit, this is one of the more unusual uses I've seen for
the Newton. ;-)

For myself, since my battery has all but given up its ghost, and I
don't find the expense of recelling it worth it, I use mine primarily
to calculate actual exchange rates for withdrawals from my US bank
accnt in Poland. that's about it nowadays. It's the only tool I've
found that can calculate in a brainless and simple way the actual
exchange rate, based on the two sides of the equation. I've never
found anything like it any place else. Oh, and I have some odd notes
and addresses that have somehow never found their way over to my other
computers that I look up on my Newton. Oh, and some books I still read
there--FOTR and HHG2G series...
