That should be 'of'. Dammit, I can't edit.

Gussie Fink-Nottle is, in the inimitable words or Bertie Wooster, a 'Newt fancier'. As Jeeves might put it, however, the MessagePad appellation is of my own invention.

Sorry for interrupting with non-Newton talk, but Gussie Fink-Notle?! Awesome! Did you make that up? Long time fan of P. G. Wodehouse here... Peace, Drew

Attention all 'Gussie Fink-Nottles'! Eckhart Köppen's new fix for the 2010 problem on the Newton MessagePad 2100 is now available here. Development is, I gather, also underway for…

Thank you all. This is very helpful. The gist of it in my judgment is that the re-celling of a 2400c battery would be slightly speculative, but worth the price of speculation in t…

Best I can tell the controller boards are all custom but the heart of the intelligence is in chips that can be custom or commercial parts. The intelligent battery controller in th…

You might also want to search this forum for Wally's posts on this subject. He's done the most thorough experimentation and research of anyone I know. I'll briefly share my experie…

A question has been troubling me of late. As many of us know, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find main batteries for the first PowerBooks taking Li-Ion batteries: the 24…

Nope, I was using FireFox. In the future, I will use utilities to keep tabs on the disk.

Even if the file system was corrupted, you can still backup the data. This only means that the computer was having a hard time trying to find the necessary files it needed to acce…

It's hard to say what exactly caused your iBook's hard drive to stop responding, but I'd say it was a corrupt file system. Depending on how long it was that you used the system an…

1. I think you must mean a 2100. 2. The language is in rom. I don't think it can be changed. (I could be wrong, but see #3). 3. Sell it on eBay Germany (Austria & Switzer…

Hi there guys. I just got a Newton 1200 but the problem is it's in german. Is there any way i can change the language?

I have iBook screws, so nothing to worry about in that aspect.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to look into this problem again. I was FINALLY able to get all of my data off the drive that was in there, when it crapped out. So I stuck it bac…

Well, I decided to import the "lost" posts last night. At first, I wasn't going to bother because I thought it was only 300 or less posts, but after I ran an SQL query to compare t…

Nice. But what we really need is a USENET gateway to 68kmla.org.

I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning improving the Usenet post-indexing system. Before, it wasn't always grouping posts into their correct thread, and instead wa…

I should correct the above: this is a 802.11b card, not g.

Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…
