[NTLK] What is a bootstrap card?

Mon Aug 29 20:12:12 EDT 2016

I just got back from the High School Robotics Class. (If you're so
inclined, you can vote for their case mod @ http://dreamchallenge.us/.
They're the RoboDox. A fully self-funded, self-governed, public high school
robotics team. They even recruit their own mentors.)

Anyhow, I laid out the Bootstrapping scenario for both the Newton, and an
Apple IIc, and let them theorize how they'd overcome the technology gap,
and then how they'd integrate each device with modern networks. The
brainstorm was fascinating. Without any prompting, one student asked, "Does
it have any form of removable solid-state memory?" I think they're going to
enjoy this.

Thank you Ron, for getting us going!

Are there any wifi cards that have been particularly successful in the
Newton, or any to stay away from?
