Through the magic of an arcane Unix command and much holding of breath, I think I may have fixed a long standing problem with passwords not working with certain IMAP and AppleTalk file sharing logins. I’m pretty sure that nothing went haywire while I was tinkering under the hood, but just in case you are … More

Just for the heck of it, I paid my fifteen dollars and entered the Newted Community site in the 2002 SXSW Website Competition under the category of redesign/relaunch.

I’ve added a link to Victor Rehorst’s brand spanking new Newton OS Errors Database along side the other popular resources in the navigation menu. If you can’t find out what’s ailing you or your Newton now, the situation is hopeless.

It’s a fresh new month, and what better way to start it off than with some fresh new content? Both the Newton FAQ and the Newton Glossary have been updated for November. Now, dig in and remember to chew well before swallowing.

After realizing that some of the most important information regarding accessing the Members Only area of the site didn’t really exist anywhere, I added it to the support page. Always try to stay one step ahead of disaster, I like to say.
