[NTLK] Jim's dead Newton

Well what I'm saying is that when you exchange two identical ROMs (2 ROMs of MP2000 US) there is always a Brain Wipe.  
And not only when the ROMs are of different languages. At least that's what happens here at home with two identical Newton 2000 US ROMs. Would I be the only one to whom this happens?

About the French version of NewtonOS, at the time in the corridors of Apple France there was already talk about this version long before February 1998, and we are a rare few to have the MP2x00 manuals translated into French.  If I remember correctly, it was planned to release it before the end of 1998. But as you know in February, it was all over. So NewtonOS in French on the Watson might not be the work of Schlumberger, but that of Apple. Schlumberger would have just had the French ROM before the others. On the other hand I cannot certify this with any official document.
