This is really great, welcome back! It seems that the Newton hacking
community has grown recently, with you and Jim Witte (re-)joining, very
nice!

I'm sure of that. I haven't used MP120/130s very much for hacking, but
the 2x00 is much much nicer.

I found Lua quite nice since it is at least syntactically close to
NewtonScript.

Might the Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC help? I tried it once and it was
pretty much a no-brainer to add to existing programs.

Any chance of having writing capabilities from a desktop? That would
ease installation and data transfer to the Newton significantly...
Good to see you back,
