Hi,
just an idea..
Would anyone care to do this compilation? I mean, I think among the whole
list, we are pretty much using all of the Newton software out there..I agree
with Drew in that its a tiring affair trying to locate all the different 3rd
party apps that are needed to enhance the Newton.
Perhaps we all could do user reviews, maybe tagging them as 'review' when
they are sent to the list? I'm in the middle of a thesis right now, but
I'll be more than happy to compile all the different reviews after I am
done, meaning end of march. I do not have a web site, so someone would
have to host it. The end result would be that someone would have a really
comprehensive site that reviews/describes all or most of what is out there,
with links to the active developers too. The ongoing NewtonMad clean up
sounds like it could be retro fitted..
Interested?
cheers
ken
