Re: [NTLK] people... people

I write to tell you all that you have a much broader reach and
influence than you may realize, and that you should not give up now!
I have been reading this site for years and years - ever since I laid
eyes on the 2000 and bought it on the spot using many months of
grocery money. This is a great group, and I enjoy the posts even
though I don't understand most of them - I'm a media geek and don't
get code. it's rare to find a community that remains so generous and
courteous for so long.

I too have wondered if it' might be possible to reward the developers
and the mentors who have heretofore donated time and talent. I would
love a tutorial to get me back onto my Newton, to connect it with the
OSX machines I use now, and I would pay for it. I hope you persist
and stay patient.
