NOTE: I posted this during one of the outages and it bounced back as
undeliverable. I blame the whole thing on the WorldCom scandal.

Hi all,

Glad to see the list is back up after the brief outage.

About a week ago someone asked if there was a website devoted to Newton
newbies. That got me to reflecting on my newbie experiences when I got my
MP2100 last December, and how much time I spent searching the web for the
basics: manuals, connection software, battery sources, FAQ's, even this
message list.

So over the weekend I hacked together a web site that basically collected a
bunch of quicklinks that would have helped me out when started.

The first peek at this effort is up at:

http://homepage.mac.com/newton4newbies

I'm still trying to correct come color and gamma problems. Looked great on
my Mac, but on my wife's windoze machine it came out awful dark.

I do need input on this page to make the content as user friendly as
possible for the person who just bought a Newton off eBay and needs a little
direction to other sites.

I'm looking for a few more hardware links and also want to include a "Top
10" software list the the general user. I know it will be had getting a
verdict on this but please email your suggestions.

Thanks!
