[NTLK] NewtonTalk Digest, Vol 58, Issue 9

Tue Oct 9 13:37:16 EDT 2018

Hi  sir iZaac,

Yes looked at all of these list, they are great.  I hope this site stays
up, I've downloaded a bunch of these, but the site could disappear after a
while I'm thinking.

My NOS is 2.0 (on the MessagePad 130).

I was able to fax from my MessagePad today, kinda thrilled me.  I wonder if
there are anyways to make a fax modem talk to Ethernet.... just my tech
problem solving brain trying to figure it out to bring the Old Newton into
the modern world. I've been talking pictures of the screen and adding them
to Apple Notes.  (But I need to do it in the dark, as the screen does have
a lot of glare)

cheers,
Mark
