It is. And fellow 68kmla soldiers broke my hopes of easy language switching on Newtons a few weeks ago... :-/ By the way, judging by your use of an acute accent on your pseudo,…

OS 9.1 is supported on x100 series Macs so long as you use an original Mac OS 9.1 install CD. You cannot use a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.04 CD + the downloadable 9.1 updater. If you don't h…

There might. But AFAIK that's the way.

Well, you tell by whichever language it's using. English= USA and German=German

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3. Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

Hello all, Tomorrow I receive my first Newton, a MessagePad 2000, but how do I know whether I have a German or US version of it? Thanks in advance
