Funny thing about it...

This was my first attempt at writing an online journal about my own, newly found, obsession... a Newton 120 and an official U.S. Army issued camo carrying case.

Yep, I know that feeling. I still have this vision that, one day, I WILL get myself lost in the wilderness. Grandiose stories of survival and adventure. Logged and archived on my solar powered, GPS Hiking Newton. Uploaded from some remote, undisclosed location via satellite or cellular.

I've noticed.

You can archive it if you wish... but wouldn't it be nice to bring it back, better than before?!

Ah... so many times I've wanted to update that article. Alas, the wikiwikinewt never did allow me to make changes. Something happened to it about a year later and edits were locked out.

I've wanted to finish out those dead links for so long. I've had so many fun adventures with my hiking Newton. I written at least two other great stories... besides the updates to some of the hardware ideas... bluetoooth, cellular, solar chargers, lithium polymers... oh yeah!

I was hoping the new NewtonKnowledge wiki would have been a good replacement but eh... I need to keep looking into it.

Yeah... til the screen dies ... or I should break down. Die from this obsession. Buy an ¡Phone. Commit financial suicide (aka: the $1,200 / 2 year AT&T contract)... they will be prying this Newt out of my stiff, cold, dead phalanges.
