Well, Santa has come and gone… How many of you got the gadgets that you asked for? 🙂

I took my Newton MP2000 with me to a family Christmas gathering this past weekend. It sure came in handy with keeping a 13yr old boy and 6yr old girl occupied. They had never seen a Newton before and figured out how to use it very quickly. They both kept fighting over who could play …
