Hello Patrick.

My name is Grant Hutchinson and I'm the admin for the NewtonTalk mailing list.

In the email that Tony Kan forwarded to the list, you mentioned that you were looking for "the once alive forums" relating to the Newton.

Well, we're still here.

I invite you to join the NewtonTalk community and let us help you with your questions.

Let me know if you have any issues.


Cheers!

Grant

(PS: I can likely help you find a dongle and stylus.)
