Hi!

Well, 5 years after it was terminated, I got around to getting my first Newton, a MP 130, off eBay.. There are some things I have yet to figure out, perhaps someone on this list can help:

    - NewtWorks can't work on this model (correct?), so what word processor can I get on it? I'd like something slightly more elaborate than Notes :)

    - Are there dictionaries/translators available (french/english, frenchORenglish/german, etc) for download?

    - I'm getting "low or missing back-up battery" warning messages whenever I restart the MP after recharging my batteries (which I have to take out of the MP), and thus the clock resets to 1995; what kind of back-up battery is it? Where should I look to get a new one?

    - A silly one: I'm not colour-blind, but the casing looks dark green instead of black, is this typical of MP 130s?

Next up: getting this baby online with a 14.4k modem :)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Alex
