Come on, Mac, that gag is like 8 years old! I mean, it's a good 'un, and not without justice, but... sheesh.
I am also contractually obliged to observe that NewtonOS 2 machines aren't that bad and don't do that. Well, not hardly at all, anyway.
I'm keeping an eye on the websites occasionally. These days, there's both an MP3 player for NOS2 out there, and an ATA device driver. Once they're finished, pop one of the £60 2GB Toshiba PCMCIA hard disks I've seen in places like Morgan's (http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk) into my Newt2100 and I'd have a very capable pocket jukebox. Which is a bit late, as kjersti & I have a Creative Nomad Zen now, but hey...
