[NTLK] 2010 thanks and a quick question...

Sat Mar 13 16:45:34 EST 2010

Grant et all,

Thanks!  I'm getting the cables I need this weekend, so hopefully I'll be up-and-running sans 2010 bug soon enough.

To, to figure out how to code so I can get a wireless card working on this thing...

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I'm a student at Harvard Divinity School and just wrote a paper about the "Religiosity of the Apple Newton Community" published a few years back.  I'm curious - did anyone have strong reactions (for OR against) that article on this list?

Thanks again!

- Jack

For MP120 and MP130 devices running Newton OS 2.0, you need Avi's fix.

Grant, I applaud your comedic silence. Keeping it too yourself, were  
ya? Or, just waiting for someone to ask?

Looks like I need to update the Y2010 Lending Card. And, my 120's &  
130.i think I forgot something. Like duh! The answer's been there all  
the time.

As previously stated, Eckhart's patch only applies to the MP2x00 series.

Jack has a MessagePad 130, hence my suggestion of Avi's solution.

Why thank you ... but the comedic effect was unintentional. I've just  
been slacking off in keeping up with recent threads on the list.  
Nobody had offered that particular solution yet ... so whoomp, there  
it is.
