You need to have your own info in an address card, and have it labeled by the Address Book as "me". Make changes, and tell Address book to alert people to the changes. I've seen this, but never used it. But look for it. Jon Glass 2008-12-03T08:21:00 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87592 On 2-Dec-08, at 7:27 PM, L.W.

As you've mentioned surfing modern websites sucks but I think that has a lot to do with our outdated software. However the newt seems to do email pretty well and I've had success with websites that are text only or have limited graphics. I setup my newt for email so doing the extra work to get it on the web was more of a novelty even though it took me awhile to get it working lol. That being said, I currently use a blackberry for most of the jobs my newt used to do (including email) but my newt still serves for holding my work notes (charts, logs, etc.).

I use Virtual PC from Microsoft although I also have VirtualBox from Sun for my Ubuntu use. Both work well. I use the Virtual PC with Win98se for loading, backing up and developing. There is also iNewton. It works well but carries a $50.00 price tag. So, my advice, a virtual machine with a copy of windows Win98se or older.

Unfortunately, since I have a business legacy account making the change would instantly kill my e-mail address.

Yes, it' s a WRT-54G. I've seen the books on using these, and almost ordered one. Maybe I will now. I also like the idea of being able to use one of my three macs to broadcast a wireless signal which the Newton could pick up, I think. Even our G3 ibook clamshell from about 1999 will do this. Never had so much learning fun with computers until I got a mac. Think the same thing is going to happen with the Newts. I really appreciate the helpful responses from everyone.
