Matt,

You could try to boot the Newt with all the packages frozen, that way
the extension won't work and you'll be able to delete the troublesome
extension, or back up your other files, etc. To boot your Newton with
extensions off, hit the reset button on the back of the Newton and then
flip the Newton over so the screen is facing you, as for normal usage.
Immediately hold the pen down halfway down the left edge of the screen,
about a centimeter from the casing, down the screen. Keep holding the
pen there, and soon a dialog box will appear asking if you'd like to
activate packages on the store "Internal". Return the pen to the left
edge and keep holding it down. You'll then get the same dialog for each
card you have inserted. Answer "no" to each dialog.
