I completely agree with Zinkula, appreciation is worth as much as
money (in some cases) when it comes to deciding whether or not to
continue developing a program. I attempted to contact some old Newton
developers to get the source code for their programs, but contacting
people at e-mail address's that are 6 years old doesn't work. I even
snail-mailed a letter to the creator of the program Bowser, no
response. It gets very discouraging after a while.
Still, I love the Newton, and would be willing to help out in anyway possible.
