I can't wait for you to release Getting up and Running. Do you have a
time estimate on it?

Doug Parker and I have teamed up on this, with some helpful advice from Sonny and a few others. We have all of the necessary parts, and are taking to installing it. We will know if internal wifi on the Newton is successful in a few weeks. If it works, we will share how to do it, and the parts are quite simple really, a wifi card that fits in a pc card slot and takes a cabled antennae that fits inside the Newton. This information will be released for non-commercial purposes, meaning no profiting from it (well, I am pretty sure that this clause is directed at only a couple lurkers out there, cough cough).

If anyone wants to join the OMP or MP 100 backlight project, I can send you a username and password and give you access to the project site. All of our research, including a message board with a task list and files is located there.

But I will need the blessing and permission of list members before releasing it to everyone, so you all don't have a choice! You have to consult with me on it first! ;)
