[NTLK] Newton vs. E5830 Blog Up

[Tony Douglas]

Hi Jeremy,


I've just started using Backdrop Plus from Stand Alone as my backdrop, just for a wee change from Avi's Backdrop. Quite liking the additional buttons for applications actually. I've also got Dashboard running, which is great for the gesture input to launch apps too. 


The number in the middle at the top is indeed free heap; it's a MessagePad 2000U, so it has 4Mb of memory to play with. I freeze lots of packages that aren't in regular use, and use HeapSaver as well - HeapSaver is claiming to be saving 54.22k of heap at the moment, which is always handy :)

Good god man. What are you running as your backdrop? It looks crazy. Also,
is that number at the top your free heap? If it is, how do you have so much?


Curious,
Jeremy

Hi folks,


In case anyone is interested in the very gory details, the steps I ran
through to get my Newton talking to my Huawei E5830 are now up on my blog at
http://tonyisyourpal.blogspot.com. There are probably loads of horrible
typos and bits where I've forgotten to say 'hit Save here' but hopefully
it'll be of use to someone. Be warned though, it's mostly about getting
wireless connections to work rather than anything terribly special about
mobile broadband - that bit, thankfully, just worked !


Cheers,

PS. There will be more to come shortly, including why I've abandoned the 2Gb
compact flash card and a plea for help with MailV !


PPS. But not right now - it's time for bed (said Zebedee ... boooiiinnggggg
...)
