Hi Anner, and welcome! 19 and you already have your own domain? Not bad at
all!
I'm not sure about which model of iBook you have, but if it has an infrared
port, you could use the Newton Data Browser (AKA DIL Tester) from Thomas
Tempelmann to transfer packages to your Newton using your iBook.
BTW, there is a French-based Newton mailing list called Newton-FR. You might
be able to find someone closer to you on that list that could help. To
subscribe, send an email to
<mailto:newtonfr-request_at_ml.free.fr?subject=subscribe>.
For the pen, I've never heard of any place in Europe selling them. There
might have been a few stores back when the Newton was still supported, but
now, I don't think you would find any. You could try to use a PDA stylus for
another platform temporarily. You might have more luck this way. You could
also to go a place that sells office equipment or specializes in writing
instruments. There, you might be able to find a good pen with a PDA stylus.
Cross does make one of those, and Rotring also has a Quattro pen. It will
definitely not fit the pen holder of your 2100, but for an emergency, that
might be better than nothing.

Hackers never use flowcharts, consider them extremely silly, and associate them with COBOL programmers, card wallopers, and other lower forms of life. This attitude follows from the observations that flowcharts (at least from a hacker's point of view) are no easier to read than code, are less precise, and tend to fall out of sync with the code (so that they either obfuscate it rather than explaining it, or require extra maintenance effort that doesn't improve the code).
