Update on the failing Newton.
Before I decided to send my trusty Newton to Apple for
repair or cracking the case open to discover the
issue, I decided to let my little buddy sit, stripped
clean, for a day and a half.
After placing it in jail for that time, I plugged in
the adapter, performed a soft reset, and viola -- it
turned on.
I'm sure you all can agree with the relief that swam
over me. I want to thank all of you for the links to
helpful information, personal emails, and etc -- I'm
back on track.
I'm working a contract gig and I took it to work
today. Many jaws dropped, first in amusement but
eventually in awe, as I kept up with the cronies
hacking away on their laptops.
thanks again,
rw
