Newton is dead no more. I took out everything as suggested in the link
below around 9 a.m. Then, around 5 p.m., I plugged the power adapter
back in, with an immediate restart. The message was something to the
effect that the Newton restored because there had lost all power.
The date was set at July 8, 1996 (a special date?).
When I set my cards in, memory and modem, everything seemed to be just
fine.
I'm so glad.
Now, another question if anyone knows, can one get and e-mail through
.mac? Last time I tried (when it was still free and called iTools), I
couldn't send due to an problem with "authorization," which I never
understood. Any suggestions.
