Is it possible to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots via Newton or is it only for "home" wireless?
I picked up a Lucent Bronze WaveLan & tried using the WaveLan driver but could not connect at the libraries. I can connect at home via ethernet (don't have wireless at home).

I just got my PowerBook Wallstreet and it cam with the brown brick of a power supply. Since I got it used how do I check if it's one of those good, replaced or bad units? Likely I'm not covered by this law suit filing. Not sure though. And I too somehow got that notice last week though I just bought it last week (the PowerBook) hmm, how did they trace me so quick?? Dave, and anyone out there... if anyone decides to pass on this I think you should take the money unless you are deciding to get them to give you a new replacement again. I'm personally stuck with a bad hinge which I read was likely a design flaw...
seems like the eMate thing to me... another bad design which they did not try to consider as it provides another form of income in repairs... :( Does anyone have any suggestions regarding the suit or screen hinge? --=20 God bless, Sonny Hung the Hung Family On 5/20/05, David Abramowitz <david.abramowitz_at_verizon.net> wrote: > On May 20, 2005, at 12:58 AM, David Golden wrote: >=20 > > I was just wondering if anyone else on the list received the legal > > notice of a pending settlement with Apple over those miserable " Yo Yo > > " AC adapters.

regarding this - she documented the changes very nicely - but for now, calendar sync seems to be broken.

Don't Exchange it! Many of those brown bricks have been recalled, and they will offer you the friggin yoyo for free. As long as the brick isn't getting HOT, keep it. it's vastly superior to those friggin

Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 11:06:07 -0700 I'll be releasing the final (distributable) version of the U.S. Army Field Manual (Reading Maps & Land Navigation) later this weekend. First, I will have to finish replacing some graphics that are (apparently) too big for an eBook (they show up blank). I have a couple of questions: Has anyone (with a 2100 or eMate) downloaded it and taken a look at it? Will the "Classic Format" also work on all Newtons? I went with the Classic format over Universal because it was wider and allowed better formatting of tables. I could take some time in the future and massage the formatting into other formats, unless it's not necessary. Thanks for any input... Ron -- Sent using Mail

Wittmann" <mwittmann_at_maine.edu> Subject: [NTLK] NewtSync not working in Tiger Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 16:05:40 -0400 Hi, all, I'm working with a Newton 2100, NewtSync 0.3.3, and a functioning system up until now. I backed up Notes to individual text files, Dates and ToDos to iCal, and I used the OmniOutliner plugin when needed. Well, I upgraded my OS X machine to Tiger (from Panther, 10.3.9),
doing archive and install. I have a previous system folder on my machine now, from which I could grab needed files. NewtSync no longer works. I can no longer connect my Newton. It gets online, gets an IP address (from DHCP locally), tries to find the TCP/ IP connection with NewtSync, and then.... disconnects. Can anyone help me on this? I really rely on dumping text files into individual entries. Dates/Todos aren't so important (iCal was just backup), and NCU is really damn awful at backing up text files appropriately. Anyone have other suggestions?

I'm only asking as this PowerBook is being repaired by myself and will eventually end up with my sister who just recently got a part-time job. I'm not too keen on giving her an A/C Adapter that might burst into flames (by some Internet accounts) she'll be using it to Internet email, job hunt and write resumes... Until these repairs and upgrades are completed this PowerBook will stay my main Newton Connection. I for one did not expect to buy a Mac PowerBook and have so much repairs and upgrades needed. (I've got to repair the screen hinge and upgrade: memory, DVD and processor as I got a 233MHz) I can only thank God for a person in the NYC/CT area who accepted my offer to buy all these parts at such an affordable price. This includes a G4 500MHz Upgrade... my sister will be very happy
when she gets this PowerBook...and I won't have to support those Window Virus Updates anymore on that old laptop I gave her... --=20 God bless, Sonny Hung the Hung Family On 5/20/05, Martin Joseph <martyNT_at_barknaturalpet.com> wrote: > Don't Exchange it! >=20 > Many of those brown bricks have been recalled, and they will offer you > the friggin yoyo for free. >=20 > As long as the brick isn't getting HOT, keep it. it's vastly superior > to those friggin yoyos. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 17:17:23 -0400 From: mkow1234_at_aol.com Subject: [NTLK] New Newton eBook - 2020 Global Study Project! Hello Everybody: Announcing a huge new Newton eBook! This is the one that Michael Heurex wanted to convert, but he kept encountering error messages. I kept getting errors as well, until I took a close look at how I was editing the source files. The errors were due to the size of
the eBook, plus memory usage for pasted images, hyperlinks to the TOC, etc. It works fine, now. It should be up soon on Marty and 'Kasko's Library site. Enjoy! Matt the K. [Available only for MP 2X00 format at the moment] ==================================================== Title: Mapping the Global Future: Report of the National Intelligence Council's 2020 Project Based on Consultations with Nongovernmental Experts around the World Source: http://www.cia.gov/nic/NIC_globaltrend2020.html> Editor: (Specially edited for the Newton MP 2X00 format by) Matthew Kowalczyk About this eBook: This is a huge global think tank study that looks at possible scenarios for global problems in the coming decades. Topics include Asia's role in the world, the rise of China and India, predictions for Sub-Saharan Africa, global fossil fuel consumption, Islamic uprisings, various other conflicts, and related policy
implications. This is some heavy-duty reading to wrap one's brain around, and it could be a bit depressing for some readers. If you like the idea of knowing what might be coming down the road over the next few years, this is probably the best source of information for the layman citizen without contacts in the upper echelons of government. They left out a few of my own predictions/scenarios, such as a decline in the global market leading to a mass exodus from China, civil war or revolution in Russia (again), fuel riots in other parts of the world, etc. Such pleasant thoughts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my manifesto before this batch of plastique goe s bad. :O) Matt K. ============================================================================================ PS I'm sorry that I did not prepare this eBook for other Newton formats. It was a ton of work just to get this one eBook working properly, what with all of the hyperlinks to the
TOC. I am going to upload the NP! file, so that others can consider reformatting the eBook for other Newtons. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 18:23:00 -0400 Subject: Re: [NTLK] NewtSync not working in Tiger From: Matthew Reidsma <mreidsma_at_mac.com> On Friday, May 20, 2005, at 04:05 PM, Michael C.

Esp. all the work you've had with all those links - incredible! The only possible improvements I see would be 12 pt font size and grayscale illustrations in a 2k portrait
format. ;=} >Will the "Classic Format" also work on all Newtons? Yes, but possibly not on the eMate in landscape. Universal fits all formats, which means all Newts in all orientations. I think that's not really necessary -- Classic, MP2x00 portrait and eMate landscape should serve us all well enough (still, I almost always create all 8 formats to please even the most absurd tastes... which means Universal and eMate portrait to me). >I went with the Classic format over Universal because it was wider and >allowed better formatting of tables. Makes much sense for me. 2k Portrait would even make more sense to me. ;=} >I could take some time in the >future and massage the formatting into other formats, unless it's not >necessary. Uh, I don't want to sound bossy and stuff, but pls. let me hustle, beg, pray and wheeze you into doing MP2k portrait (probably the most favorite
Newton format for reading ebooks) and eMate landscape, too, at least. Oh, and while I'm being pushy and annoying, pls. make that grayscale images, too... unless the illustration is only a line drawing. One day you'll get yerself a 2k and you'll be glad to have the book in that format (it's what happened to me after I'd started making books for my MP 130 -- then some time later I get this rare Dr. Gruendelstein MP 2g00, and wished I had all my first book editions also done in 2k-formats...). Hmh, or maybe if the original graphic material is wider than high, it might make sense to prefer 2k landscape over 2k portrait. >Thanks for any input... Uh, most welcome, and apologies for the hustle. Yer ole pal 'Kasko P.S.: In case it didn't get clear enough -- I'm really impressed BIG TIME with the effort you've put in there!

yours... ------------------------------ End of newtontalk Digest V5 #257 ********************************
