Dear Mark,

> And Notability has the Newtonesque feature that if you draw a shape carefully, it straightens it out! 

Before knowing I could go back to use a Newton (after I lost mine), I used GoodNotes in my iPad. It recognizes shapes without any need of drawing things carefully. It might be feature-loaded, but it lacks the nice interface of Notability

Still I prefer the ways my Newton does things better!

The print to PDF for Newton (which I am currently exploring via an LPR solutions), is not just for the Notes, but for all other interesting Newton printing, like the Hours Worked report.

> Also, that sort of feature is useless today in the MS Outlook-driven world where you invite attendees to a meeting instead, so they get an email.

I hope to sync the invitation that has an invitee like MoreInfo out of the Newton Calendar at some point.

> You can’t have an OS with that feature and expect a device to be used in the medical profession and be HIPPA compliant.

I believe in a future that maybe Newton co-exist with other functionalities provided by other host OS, for dealing with other compliances, until hopefully open sourced Newton OS 3.0 eventually is made, after there is enough new interest in Newton OS we have now, of course!

I don’t have much resources to do more now, but I hope to have more resources in the near future to push initiatives.

Maybe a Hackathon or some competition of some sort could be the first thing in order?

Some Future paths are just worth helping :)

Long / Forever live the Newton!

Martin

The Newton was long before all the "bad actors" that we have nowadays in the computing world.  The Newton would share data between all packages/apps.  Which gave it such power.  You could link two items from two totally different packages and it worked.  Or if you asked it to schedule a meeting at a certain time (using your preferred PIM) with a certain person it would pull all the data and link it in the reminder.

Even then it is usually limited, if they can at all again because of the different storage methods.  There is "sharing" but it is much more limited with regard to what the Newton could do, and it isn't the kind of links we are talking about either.
