Thus, I suppose my question to you is this: do you disagree with how how Muniz and Schau DEFINE religion - that is, stories, beliefs, etc. - or with the CONNOTATION that comes from being a labeled as a religion? Again, I don't want you to think that I agree with everything in the article (I don't), but I'm curious to see WHY folks (myself, a Newton user [albeit a new one], included) react the way they do. - Jack (PS - the calendar fix worked like a charm!

It is recommended your Newton has the latest ROM patch installed. You can find the latest Apple ROM patches on on UNNA.org here: &lt;http://www.unna.org/view.php?/apple/software/SystemPatches&gt; To find out what version patch your Newton is currently running, Select "Memory Info" from the "i" menu within the Extras app. It is always a good idea to backup your Newton first, before updating a ROM patch. Brainwiping (after your backup) is not such a bad thing either. It can also help clean things up as well. However, brainwiping is not required. Thanks to Grant for helping me remember... the obvious. </pre> R A Parker 2010-03-14T20:45:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/95733 <pre>Christian, It wasn't you, it was my unclear writing (I, too, blame Saturdays). I meant that I wrote a paper in RESPONSE to the article. Basically, I used the article as a real-world example of the debate between Clifford Geertz and Tala Asad about what "defines" religion. In short, I called the article problematic It was coincidental (seriously, I promise) that I had just acquired a Newton a week before reading the article. I only saw the article because a guy sitting in front of me during lecture was reading it on his laptop. I leaned over, asked what it was about, and proudly showed him my MP 130. He was weirded out for a second, and then, naturally, was spellbound by the handwriting recognition. Anyway, I was just curious as to what you all thought about the ORIGINAL article...

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I'm a student at Harvard Divinity School and just wrote a paper about the "Religiosity of the Apple Newton Community" published a few years back.

But I am not sure how to enable it. The Newton Interconnect guide says that one should refer to Newton Programmer's guide to know how to access this channel. But the Newton Programmer's Guide and Newton programmer's reference are totally silent about differentiating between different serial channels either on the interconnect port or internal serial slot. After rummaging through the two said manuals for some time, I guessed that "serial chip location" (kCMOSerialHWChipLoc) option mentioned in chapter 24 was the way to go, but it doesn't explicitly talk about different channels. I tried changing the different values for this option, but I didn't see any activity on serial channel 3 (only on serial channel 0). Can someone tell me how can I tell Newton to use serial channel 3 instead of channel 0 on the interconnect port and how to drive the InternalMdmSelect signal? Thanks =============================</pre> Bhavishya Goel 2010-03-13T06:36:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/95711 <pre>I do even though the iPad does not have handwriting recognition. This is the main feature of the Newton MessagePad series I loved, especially the delayed ink into text later option. I think Apple could of included this but decided not to for ??? reason. I know there are a few handwriting recognition notes apps for the iPhone / iPod Touch as an alternative. Most likely they will be ported to the iPad's larger screen dimensions. Other than that we have all of the basic Newton apps (from the MP 100 and up). Plus the Web browser, mail and word processor from the MP 2000/2100. (not the exact apps but the functionality.) That is why I feel the iPad is a worthy replacement for the Newton MessagePad. Sincerely, G.

I just downloaded and installed the Dragon Dictation App from the App Store for the iPhone. It's supposed to be one of the best apps on the App Store. What it does is allows you to speak to your iPhone and your speech will be converted to text. You can then copy and paste that text into your Mail program, Notes, Safari, etc. It gets rave reviews. But I would caution anyone to read the EULA. First, the agreement states that if you click except, that Nuance will download all of your contacts and store them on their servers. The reason they do this is to improve the accuracy of the speech recognition when you speak your contacts. They say they will not use the contacts in any way other than for speech recognition purposes: they won't contact these people. But they don't give you a choice bef ore you click "Accept" to the EULA.
