Pardon my asking, but are you saying "nope" because
the necessary hardware/software capability has never
existed in the Newton?

Or because something like this has actually been
seriously looked at, attempted, and then subsequently
abandoned for technical reasons?

I guess I'm not clear on why something along the lines
of Retina or MiniStumbler wouldn't be possible on a
Newton. Would someone be kind enough to break it down
for me?

Best,

James Fraser
