@paul the fw alpha is actually pretty close to the alphasmart neo. you can plug it in over usb-c and it will dump out the drafts as text documents for you. my only complaint with that is if i delete the file it should also delete the draft. it doesn't seem to do that. i have to scroll through one at a time to find the drafts i no longer want, hit a menu, "shred", type in a confirmation, which would be markedly less fun if i wrote multiple emails or something at once.

people have been asking to be able to put files back ON the device for a decade--something the Dana can do, but not the Neo--and the CEO is just absolutely dedicated to the bit of keeping the machine hipster-ingly crippled. at least they gave us cursor navigation this time :blobcatdunno:
