I'm a long time ‘lurker’ (from London, UK) on Newtontalk, and this is my first email to the group. In the early days, I used to read Pen Computing magazine, and David MacNeill on the Newton. You can see his Newton Notes Archives at http://www.pencomputing.com/Newton/ I’ve used a Newton since 1993, and only gave up using my 2000 last November, when I bought an iPhone 4S - this still doesn’t do some things as well as the Newton (apart from HWR), for example, the ‘Spotlight’ type search function will not pick up words everywhere in the device!

It is in perfectly fine working condition (i.e. no hinge issues); comes in its original box/packaging, with manual, quick guide, connection CD; additionally it comes with the Keystone connection cable and CD for the driver. Cosmetically perfect, with original stylus; the only mar here is in black felt the undercarriage ID for a school division. I am selling because its connectivity to my new, and relatively new MAC and PC technology is a tad beyond my mental capability, though I am assured it is possible. $40 plus shipping.

A little explanation if you want...I run two ESXi servers at home. All my Newton stuff (web server, SQL server, Cold Fusion server) was sitting on one server. This ESXi server hosted other outward facing sites as well. The other server hosts my internal stuff...SharePoint, another website, IP Cam repository, plus another SQL server (to host my SharePoint site). This server is configured for internal connections only. This, along with strong firewall rules and separate networks keeps the traffid separate. I figured that instead of building a new SQL on my external ESXi server, I'll just pop the database onto the SQL server on my internal ESXi server, make some security changes and all would be good... Nope, no such luck. I ran into so many problems due to my paranoid security techniques, it was darn-near impossible for me to get the internal SQL to see the external IIS server... Needless to say, multiple firewall changes, host file </pre> Ed Kummel 2012-05-17T23:52:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/101438 <pre>While going through today's Macworld newsletter, I opened a link (shown below) and--to my surprise--saw an old familiar friendly icon there on Time.com's "Techland" section, in the "Technologizer!" column by Harry McCracken. Look to the left of the word "Technologizer!" at the word balloon coming out of the smartphone (is that supposed to be an iPhone?). Is that--the Newton lightbulb icon?

I¹m away from home for an extended time due to an emergency. The worse news is that Newt has chosen NOW to have a problem. I have a MP2100. When I try to do something with Newt I get an error message telling me that either my internal memory or mydata storage card is almost full. It shouldn¹t be the data card because there¹s still about 15MB free on it, but the internal store shows only 152KB is still free. I didn¹t see this coming. Let¹s see if I can give some useful preliminary information. I can¹t find any sign of what is taking up all that space all of a sudden so I don¹t know what to do about it. I¹ve looked at all my soups and nothing shows anything like enough to take up serious space. When I add up the numbers I don¹t get even quarter-way to the amount of space that¹s supposed to be used up.

Here's a pic: http://picturepush.com/public/8145616 Please let me know your asking price, shipped, for the case. Shipping will be to zip 95132 (CA, SF Bay Area/San Jose). Despite repeated pleadings, my mailman continues to handle my mail as though it's some sort of personal affront, so I need this shipped in a cardboard box, please. In fact, the Small Flat Rate Priority Mail box (the one about the size of an old VHS cassette) would be perfect for this. Of course, if you want to ship the case to me Parcel Post (or FedEx Ground) that's fine, too, just so long as it's shipped in a cardboard box. I can pay via PayPal or (im)personal check, seeing as how PayPal is anathema to some folks. If you take Paypal, please be sure to tell me if you have the ability to accept both balance transfer and credit card-funded payments, or only the former. If you prefer a check, I understand that the check will need to clear before </pre> James Fraser 2012-05-09T15:42:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/101421 <pre>http://blog.steventroughtonsmith.com/2012/05/2007s-pre-m3-version-of-android-google.html via Endgadget.

I’ve noticed this a LOT, and it seems to vary somehow depending on how long it’s been on, I’ve thought sometimes depending on temperature (hotter=less contrast, darker “white”) I’m mainly wondering whether I need to just replace the screen, or whether it might be some resistor or capacitor in the LCD power circuity somewhere. I’m always running on adapter power, indoors under normal reading light (100W-equivalent CFL).

I think it may be related to the ships power as it is 220V 60HZ (Newton adapter says it is compatible with 120/240 50/60hz) maybe it doesn't like 220 at 60HZ but I am not sure. I had alkaline battery tray in with batteries it at the time. The part that burnt was a small white block next to the coil of wire/transformer on the main board. Does anyone know if this type of failure is repairable? Here is a small photo of what burnt up... http://imgur.com/xVGzZ If any list members that have experience fixing Newtons could tell me possible what might have caused the failure and if It could be fixed I would be appreciative.I cannot tell what the part is due to the burning of it. I have a spare but I am now scared to use that adapter ever. I really do not want to only have one Newt either if anyone has any repair ideas let me know or a main board for a 2100 for sale.
