That's because you could pick a different work site which could have
different Internet settings than another work site.

I've been using a Newton since 1993 so I'm fairly used to them and it took
me a little while before I could get any page to appear in NewtsCape. So,
don't despair! I wouldn't be able to tell you what I did, though ;-)

fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted. See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory smash, overrun screw, core.
