Re: [NTLK] Top Ten Newt Software List?

I am a software developer and convert databases from whatever our client was
using to our database format. I use my Newton (a 2000 upgraded to a 2100) to
track contacts and projects plus a number of conversion resources like ASCII
table. But I also use my Newton in day to day life. It is my portable
computer. I couldn't make a top ten list but I did make a top twelve list. I
have a lot more in my Newton (a 20 meg card and an 8 meg card) but these are
the things I use everyday. In no particular order:

Newtscape - Web browser. I have a small web server set up and I load all of
my packages via Newtscape

Newtonworks - Word processor

Quick figure works - Spreadsheet program

BBedit - Helper app for editing text and numbers. Sets in the button bar

Geeksafe - I keep all of my on line banking, credit cards, online accounts
and passwords in here. I know you say that is dangerous. But if I loose my
Newton, credit cards are the least of my worries. They all have 800 numbers.

The Message - the Bible. For when I have spare time I always have a Bible to
read.

Card Eject - A must for removing cards. Because I use two memory cards, one
must be removed before I can put a modem or network card in.

I++ - The ultimate (in my opinion) Newton control software. Allows you to
make all "I" buttons into a application menu.

Address Access - A better way to access the names in your Newton

Time Trax - A better way to track dates, appointments and To-Do's.

Hilight 2000 - The best utility for copying, cutting and pasting data.

SimpleMail - The best app for Email if you use pop3. I know Mail V can do
pop3 but I can't figure out what it has over SimpleMail to make it worth the
larger memory footprint.

I also have my Newton setup for Ethernet and Wifi.

I am an editor and run a translation business, to give
you an idea of what I do. I read and do a lot of
research and am sometimes on the go. I am trying to
integrate the Newton 2000 into my life. Right now, I
have NewtWord for a dictionary and have managed to
sync my Newt with Leopard (all my addresses have been
synced to the Newton).

What is your top ten software list for the Newton?
Or, what would be the top ten pieces of software you
think I should have?
