Newtons Around The World submission guidelines.

Hey, it’s only been a year and a half since we launched the Newtons Around The World project – cut me some slack. At least I managed to get the submission guidelines up on the site before most of your backlights burnt out. At any rate, nobody has any excuse not to submit an image … More

Message board topic consolidation.

Since the action in the MessagePad 110 Support and MessagePad 120 Support topics on the message boards has been pretty much zilch since late 2001, I merged them into the MessagePad 130 Support topic.

In an attempt to consolidate all of my domain names under one roof, I am in the process of transferring the newted.org and newted.net domains from Register.com to their new home over at Dotster.
