Hi all.
I have been a proud owner of a new Newton 130 I bought some months ago. I
have been "listening" on this list since I bought the Newt, but now I have a
question.
Being a Palm user before I have always used Action Names Datebook as a
replacment for the built in datebook.
I contacted Iambic, the maker of the software, but they have completely
stopped making Action Names for Newton, and didn't have any old licenses
around.
I found the software for sale at Ebay, and I got the seller originally not
shipping to Europe to finally agree on sending it to me if I won the bid.
I did ($5, wasn't it a bargain?), but the seller not being an Apple man have
had problems copying the software from the floppies into mac format, getting
it ready for the web and all. I haven't payed yet, and I don't get any
replies on my mails anymore.
Does anybody else here at the Newton community have Action Names for Newton?
I'm ready to pay for the software so everything is legal and all that.
Thanks a lot, it's good there is a bunch of dedicated Newton users around.
But please people, don't throw so much negative words at Palm!
Using the right softwares for your needs (and there are thousands of them)
can make Palm a very powerful tool.
I have been a dedicated Palm user since 4 years, and I have downloaded
Graffiti in my Newton. Being from Sweden I use some letters with rings and
dots over them, and there hasn't been a chance learning my Newton that.
I'm faster on Graffiti than ordinary hand writing, and it have never let me
down.
But, being a Mac-man, I simply had to have a Newton.
And now, changing to my Palm IIIxe from time to time for softwares not
available for my Newt, I feel the Palm screen is SOOO tiny.
I use my 130 80% of the PDA time now...
Okey, that was a lot of words from me.
Take care all, the summer finally arrived here in Northern Sweden!
