That would be Newtscape.
You can schedule it to download marked webpages and set the depth of links it
should follow.
I use this feature very often,
Set the newt to get web pages at 6 am...set aloha to get mail at 6:30am set
Alarm Clock to 6:45
(the coffee maker starts brewing at 6:50)
The alarm goes off (set in dates) to tell me when to get going to work. (that
varries from day to day)
I guess thats why A Newton is a Personal Dogital Assistant, not an organizer.
It really is more like a secratary than a day planner........
