I was noticing that my Newton server was getting hammered more than usual
last night, and so I was trying to figure out where the heck all the new
traffic was coming from. Well, apparently my server was mentioned on
Mike's List, a regular email and web newsletter that covers the 'funny'
side of technology. It is put together by Mike Elgan, an editor, writer,
and somewhat of a self-proclaimed technology wonk.
Here's what the newsletter said:
"Apple Newton Finds a Job: Despite all the bad press, the Apple Newton
was a first-rate pocket computer with just one fatal flaw: It didn't fit
in pockets. But one enthusiast found a good use for his Newton.
Designer/photographer Grant Hutchinson is using it as a web server. Click
here to jack into Grant's Newton."
Here's a link to the newsletter: (scroll about half way down)

All I can say is that I'm glad that I discovered how to make the NPDS
Watcher more reliable before this happened. Over 1,200 hits in the past
24 hours alone. Whoa!
