[NTLK] NewtonPress for Mac

[Bob Adamson]

This is what I love about the Newton and this list.  Marisa apparently has a highly technical background. She is trying to improve our current experience with the Newt.  Over the years, (and I have been a member of the list for about 20 years) people have come along and almost universally have been so amazed with the platform that they find ways to improve it. Or, have become so enamoured that they defy all odds and push the platform even farther.  It is what has kept all of us going.  Even though Apple abandoned us, some have that Newt forever spirit.  It is why I am still here and will never leave.  Marisa, I appreciate you and all the other experts who keep people like me, a mere user, hoping that one day the Newt will be truly revised.

With all my wishes for continued success in your efforts,

Bob Adamson
