[NTLK] Newton Ux

[Ermin Mistica]

That's an awesome explanation. I've recently started on a road to a new career and am learning how to code. One of the things I promised myself a decade ago was to learn NewtonScript if I could and contribute to this Operating System/Community. 

Until this day watching the old Newton commercials and demos brings a certain "warmth" to my heart. We were really part of a revolution. One that the rest of the world is realizing these last ten years with iOS and Android. A handheld is commonplace now. Woo Hoo! But none so far really touch on the sometimes awkward, very much awesome steps the Newton made. 

I look forward to what comes even if it remains in "hobbyist" hands. 

Newton On!

While years ago, some on NTLK lamented longer messages and content unfriendly to downloading email on the Newton itself (such as HTML links); the argument was that one of the joys of using the Newton was receiving email from NTLK. Such content/length made that less and less viable.
