Hi All,

I would like to be able to use my Newton 2100 as an input device for 
Mac OS X.  Can it be used kind of as a scratch pad for a Mac?  I am an 
engineering professor, and often have students call in the evening for 
assistance on homework.  It would be so much easier if I could scratch 
some figures and equations down so that they could see what I mean more 
easily.  I have a fast internet connection at home and the students 
have a similar thing at school.  I've tried some of the whiteboard 
software, and find that trying to write equations using the trackpad of 
my powerbook isn't as easy as I thought it might be.  Writing on my 
Newton sure is easy though.

Thanks,

Rob
