James,

without wanting to sound too harsh, I think you seriously need to  
adjust your expectations. Creating the patch is *insanely complex and  
time consuming*, and a little more respect for what I was able to  
achieve with great help from Paul Guyot and Jonathan Kipling Knight  
so far is for sure in order. If it were not for the patch, you would  
not be able to use your Newton *at all* anymore without jumping  
through a lot of hoops.

The bug of the time being lost after a reset will persist until I fix  
it. Complaining how the patch is not perfect is in no way motivating  
me. The numerous mails and donations from the Newton community  
however are great, and I want to thank again everybody who has  
supported me.
