I bought a Model 100 literally last week. Going to build a little raspberry pi into a piece of wood for it to talk to. Other than that, it would be nice to be able to take a note on it and transfer it to a modern computer. Not sure the ea

A different one than the article but also weird/dangerous, it (was? is still?) possible to manipulate someone else's contact identifiers. This may have been fixed, but I stopped using gmail years ago so I'm not sure.. For exa
