[NTLK] MP2000 noob in Chicago

Hi everyone:
This is my first time writing for the group. I've been spying for a
while, learning but had never written until now. I just acquired a
MP2000 on Ebay with a keyboard and dongle. I have no way of
connecting it to my iMac and I'm on a budget so going out and
purchasing adapters and cables is out of the question. I was just
wondering if there were any Newton users in the Chicago area that
could help me out by lending me a card loaded with software or using iR.

Now that I'm writing to the group, guess I might as well ask some
questions.

*Right now I erased everything and my MP is blank. I would like to
install system updates, newtworks, avisbackdrop, games and MAYBE some
applications for internet (nethopper, Mail V, NIE, newtjabber) in
case I decide to install WiFi in the future. Would these applications
require that I buy memory cards? How imperative is it to buy extra
memory cards? Is this a must?

*From reading on the internet, I understand that the only way to sync
Dates and Names with Address Book and iCal on OSX is through a serial
connection and it can't be done through wi-fi, ethernet or bluetooth.
Is this correct? Do the sync applications also handle notes?

Thanks to everyone for the help!

Tovi
