I hope it will not be too complex, where can I find more info on the
best platform for running the Newton Emulator? I have two Newtons,
would I be eligible to run Einstein?

I second the emotion only because it seems that upgrading NIE would
be too huge a task. How long have the donations been going on for? I
have wireless for my Newton and I can connect through an ethernet
cable and get on the web and I can attest to the fact that it is very
slow in rendering pages and/or downloading pages is quite slow. The
number of browsers and their functionality seem confusing to m - I'm
not clear on what the best browser.
