Cheap shots.<p>Speaking as a huge fan of the Newton MP 2000 (which I kept using for years after the Newton was cancelled):<p>1) You can search your meeting notes. I had four or five years of meeting notes that could be instantly (well, by late 90s standards of &quot;instantly&quot;) searched.<p>2) You could point it at any IRDA printer and just print stuff. (I was astonished by this when I discovered it worked, because the first IRDA printer I got was made long after the Newton was cancelled.)<p>In contrast to this, most of my paper notes (and I&#x27;ve gone back to paper) end up being lost, and those that aren&#x27;t lost are horribly disorganized. Generally, the half life of paper notes -- for me -- is perhaps a month.
