Cool, what a find!

Yes. NewtCard : http://www.nsbasic.com/newton/
Never used it, can't comment.

I believe you'll need a database prog from the MP such as NewtDB or Leverage or
Other? Not used anything but Leverage once, seemed good. Never tried
importing/exporting. Guess it depends on what the original database is in and
if you can export it say , deliminated or not. Then get it to your MP.
>3) Any sites for programs for biologists?
Not sure. Standalone.com has a periodic table, there are some pH probes and
such out there, but I'm not sure of anything specific. If your looking for a
lab book replacement, I just use the notepad or newtonwork (MP2x00 or eMates).
If you want field software such as observations for a database, you can design
stationary with various softwares or make a frontend for NewtDB or Leverage.

Sorry, I don't program. I just consume :)
