[NTLK] Cornell University researches the Newton: Invitation for contributors

[Grant Hutchinson]

I am going to bump this thread, as it may have been missed during the recent message storm.

I've chatted with Susie about her project and she's also looking to borrow an eMate from someone in the New York area.

Hopefully, some of our east coast Newton folks can help her out.
