Palm keyboard hack

This is from the same site that Quadraman posted in this thread

This guy has created an adapter so that you can attach a Palm Stowaway keyboard. Way cheaper than the adapter that I bought a few years ago... and works just as well

Hey, cool!

I didn't even look at that. I thought the whole thing with the Newton message pad, though, was the handwriting recognition. No keyboard required. :?: :?: :?:

Even with practice, handwriting or printing on the 2100 is still slower than a keyboard (Palm or Newton models) for me when I'm working on a longer document or sitting down.

Now, if we switch to standing up or in a place without a flat surface then handwriting wins 🙂
