Ok, I could take care of Germany. The idea I read sounds good. I send
the card after I get 10 Euro through PayPal or whatever else means, and
I will refund half of it when I get the card back. Or set fire on the person
who borrowed it if I don't.

Someone suggested lending cards on which DataRescue is installed.
Although this is a good idea (I'd to this the same way as described above),
be aware that you'd need to format the card for the particular os before
you send it. Otherwise it can happen that the Newton brings up a
message (This card was installed for another system, do you want to
mount it read only or convert it, blabla,...). This message must be acknowledged
before DataRescue will have a chance to start, which will make the card useless
if your Newton has a dead screen.

May I suggest that the card holders and their terms of sending and returning
cards make it into the FAQ?
