I'm not sure about that. Actually Apple could use this as a publicity
stunt. AFAIK there has been quite some trouble around their service,
and Apple would show some sympathy for its users.

ANYTHING comes down to time, lots of time. Time I can't spend on
projects like reverse engineering NewtonOS, which would require me to
learn not only ARM Assembler, but probably C++/ObjectC. I could do
some testing, though. And perhaps spend some money on someone towards
solving this issue, if this would help,
