Drool is hard to clean off a keyboard. I hadn't seen this yet, and it looks
like one ambitious enough could replicate the design...perhaps it is time to
frighten my wife with my annual ambitious sewing project. :)

Using the Newton as an input device for a Mac OS X computer?

Hi All,

I would like to be able to use my Newton 2100 as an input device for 
Mac OS X.  Can it be used kind of as a scratch pad for a Mac?  I am an 
engineering professor, and often have students call in the evening for 
assistance on homework.  It would be so much easier if I could scratch 
some figures and equations down so that they could see what I mean more 
easily.  I have a fast internet connection at home and the students 
have a similar thing at school.  I've tried some of the whiteboard 
software, and find that trying to write equations using the trackpad of 
my powerbook isn't as easy as I thought it might be.  Writing on my 
Newton sure is easy though.

Thanks,

Rob

    do you have Newton Internet Enabler 2.0 installed?

    Is it supported by the Newton (one of the ones listed in the modem
preferences) or a modem script so that it will work with the Newton?

    There is an earthlink template in Internet Setup (part of Newton

    You'll get a dialling dialog when you start up a browser, mail program
or whatever you plan to use on the internet.

	Some more words: illegal, hard to use, inconvenient, stealing, 
spyware, adware, spam, and viruses! And the record companies are going 
after individual users of  Kazaa, Limewire, etc! Not a good choice. 
Besides, who is ever going to have 30 GB of music anyway? That's over 2 
weeks of constant music without any songs repeating!

Re: Power-On utility for 2100?

Some observations/speculations.....

1. The Newton display is two distinct parts: the visible display system--an
LCD array, and optionally, a backlight; and a touch sensor system.  One can
be operational independent of the other.  Stopping the LCD driver does not
mean that the touch sensor system also must be inactive.

2. The Newton is distinct among digital computers in that the CPU can be
'stopped'.  That is, the CPU clock frequency can be set to ZERO, or any
other frequency between zero and its maximum speed.  This is especially
useful in portable battery powered systems like handheld and notebook
systems.   Note, that long after the Newton appeared with a variable speed
CPU, the notebook PC world boasted about their '2-speed' energy saving
systems.  The British designed ARM cpu was specifically chosen for the
Newton to gain the power saving advantages for which the ARM cpu was
expressly designed.

So, the Newton is never turned off, the CPU is just set to a zero clock
frequency.  It is 'stalled' at a specific point in the CPU clock cycle.
This reduces power consumption to a MINIMUM, while preserving the precise
logical state of the entire system.  "Turning on" the Newton isn't like
turning on a light bulb.  Instead, it is more like releasing a 'brake',
permitting it to continue to roll 'down hill', so to speak.  The Newton
doesn't sleep, it merely closes its 'eyes' and stops running in mid-stride.

The touch sensitive system on the Newton could be left 'active' while the
display is not.  The display requires clocking pulses to organize the data
to be displayed on the LCD array.  The touch system could detect 'contact'
anywhere on the surface without being able to determine the location in the
absence of clock pulses.  So a "power-on" (sic) function on the Newton seems

Then don't pay for them and be smarter about how you spend your money.
That's still no excuse to steal. Besides, if it's so damn bad, how come
you're stealing it?

Reminds me of the old joke: "The food at this restaurant is terrible. And
the portions are so small!"

I've got well over 30 Gb and I've paid for it all.

Cammo Cases

I got mine today. The MP2x00 fits, but is not a play-through case, that 
is until i found a pair of scissors and a lighter to burn the loose 
ends. Muahahahahaha!  ;-)
