This link has always offered a cool "historical" outline of some very incredible software packages. These must have been "real" software, available for the the Newton, at one time. However, the majority of the information at this site always lead to dead ends. Hence my sorrow...

It has been this way since I started collecting Newtons in 2003. The site has always been there, but it never changed once in five or more years I've known about it. When I click through for the first time (in a long time), I half way expected the same... same site, no changes, dead end links. To my surprise, there was a new article on the front page, "Whoa... something new here!" (note the date)
