OK, so ProTerm is now released and I'm trying to get it from my PC to my apple II. ADTPro isn't doing it, because it's a SrinkIt file, and I have no way of handling .shk's on my Li…

This Blog also seems to be providing a running commentary on progress being made on solving the 2010 problem. In fact, it's a great Newton site in general and well worth a visit if…

Thanks for the reply, beachycove. I'm glad the problem is being tackled by people who know what they're doing. I, too, will wait until the last possible moment to install the patch…

Well, that confirms what I had suspected. :-/

The servers are purposely throttled, as these are run on home connections.

You has never been that. It's always bee Yaow.. Well, they did get better.

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I fired up Console and it says my video card is too old. Never have I had it say that Click to expand... try booting in verbose mode and you may see that message again. It isn…

My Pismo had it's stock 20GB Toshiba until about 6 months ago when it decided to not spin at all. Still, thats long for a laptop drive without the sudden motion sensor if you ask m…

Those Toshiba drives are lemons. I had the same 30GB in an iBook G4 (mid-2005); it lasted only two years. The guy who sold me a new one acted as if the drives had a fairly high fai…

None of those things worked, I tried them, and the Pram thing isn't an issue because the pram batter is gone and the factory battery that powers the thing is removed. I managed to …

I'll take it if you don't want it.

Christopher, What I would do is first is reset the P-RAM (Command + Option + P + R). Hold those 4 buttons down on the keyboard, until you hear the startup chime about 3 times. I…

I do know AppleWorks does pay attention to that switch. You could conceivably use the switch for other things, as it just flags a certain address in memory. I doesn't actually do a…

It's not my recording, but discovering and listening to the online clip the other day finally inspired me (after some 12 years as a Newton user!) to install the macintal.pkg, talkt…

I've got speech enabled on mine too. Its kinda fun to have it read stuff. It will also speak the temperature.

here ... and it's not a bad speech, either.

Sure, go ahead.

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers he…

With the last update of its Spark audio wave editor before the company abandoned software for dedicated audio hardware development, tc|werke indicated that no higher system than OS…

A different solution appears to be under development. There is a reasonably active open source development community around the Newton OS, so hopefully this nut will soon be cracke…

I found myself eying a boat load of Newton accessories when I remember the 2010 problem. I've read about it but I haven't figured out if there is a definite fix for it. Is there? I…
