Sorry to see you go. Personally, I feel the Newton is cooler
now than it was 3 years ago, but with it no longer supported
by it's own manufacturer and many of it's software developers...
realistically, the platform will never be 'alive'. There's
really nothing we can do to 'bring it back'.
However, even though we should never 'worship' the technology
(c'mon folks, it's a tool, not a god), it in my opinion is still
the best thing out there for my needs. I don't see anything coming
out any time soon that is going to do what I can do with it.
Paul's ATA driver will cerainly help in a big way though (go Paul!!).
Best wishes Carpman.
