Very sad to hear this news.

Hardy was a great developer at the heart of the Newton community and he created some special packages for us. He will be missed.

Wow...this is sad news indeed. I remember back in the day, Hardy was saving up his pennies to buy an old train station and convert it to a home for him and his new bride! While he didn't ask for such, many people, including myself, made "donations" so that he could purchase this train station...What he did with it was amazing!
He's stardust now.

Oh wow. :(  Thanks for posting this.  My sincere condolences as well.  I
will see if I can post in the locations mentioned as well.  He wrote
some of the best software for the Newton.  I use pocket money on a
regular basis as well.  And MPG on occasion.  Among others.  It is good
to see that his software/company won't just disappear.  According to the
blog, his cousin will keep it running for the foreseeable future.

Hi,

First of all, please let us know if there is a place we can send condolences.

And if not, and it is possible, please convey my condolences to the family and let them know Hardy was appreciated and that he made a difference. I still remember interacting with Hardy over email and at Newton developer events. He was a wonderful person to work with, and even when he found Newton/Apple frustrating, he was always kind about it. We will miss you sir.

That is very sad news in deed. My condolences to his family & friends.

I still use PocketMoney & MPG every day. He was one of the few (only?)
Newton developers whose apps transitioned all the way from Newton,
through Palm, and are now on iOS & Android. To top it all, he still
offered the Newton apps for sale.

I haven't contributed to the list in years, but I am very sad to hear about Hardy Macia. In my early Newton days with my 120 I used PocketMoney for all my finance and Hardy was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me along.

I too would like to send my condolences.

Newton items for sale

Marisa Giancarla — 2013-05-11T01:03:51

I just moved and cleaned out my closet and found some Newton items i'd like to offer to list members rather than posting on eBay. Included are some programming books, a keyboard with case, and others. Check them out here: https://pocketfiction.com/pdas.html just email me if you have questions or want to offer a different price...

MP2K Re-celling-bliss, Polyswitch trouble

Klaus Finke — 2013-05-10T14:19:13

Hello.

Being too much a coward to be slaughtering my dead MP2100 battery pack,
I was lucky to get an already opened pack from an MP2100 via eBay some  
days ago.
Unfortunately the polyswitch was missing.
Although the pack is working fine (I used Sanyo 2500mA cells with  
soldering straps),
I am a little worried about the missing fuse.

After browsing through the list archives
I learned that the part is a Raychem LTP190 – Thank you Frank (c:
- but the thing seems to be out of production now.
Mouser, Newark, Digi-Key don't have them on stock any longer.
Can someone please tell me if there is any compatible component to be  
used instead
- and that you don't have to buy in 1000s lots (c;
or maybe someone still has any spare LTP190 that I could buy?

(Besides - After checking the looks of my standard battery holder,
and considering future re-cellings,
I dared to cut away much more plastic from the rechargeable pack
than Frank did in his great description.
The opening now looks quite like the one on the stand
