I have bought a fair number of their Newtons, 25 in all and the lack
of a manual is serious, but no train smash. The link they gave does
work, but the Apple site is extremely slow. I have the page
bookmarked at:

http://www.info.apple.com/info.apple.com/manuals/manuals.taf?search=Ca
tegory&string=Newton&manlang=&start=1&lang=&geo=

but when I tried to go there, I get an error message now, it worked
fine a few days ago. I have however downloaded the manuals and if
somebody would like to host them somewhere, please contact me
off-line. I have d/l all the manuals I thought are relevant, even
some which describe how to make a cable, a question which pops up all
the time.

Best regards,
Chris
