[NTLK] Newton 2010 Patch?

[Raphael Coiman]

I'm another happy Newton user: yesterday I finally connected my Newton  
to my Mac laptop via NCX and it worked; I had a previous version of  
NCX that did not function but I updated to v34 and it worked. Then, I  
installed the packages for the y2010 bug and had no problems  
whatsoever. Thank you to the community for all the encouragement, the  
developments and the instructions. It's amazing that the Newton is  
still strong and alive.

BTW: has anybody a commercial version of Notion? I cannot find where  
to go to purchase a license and upgrade my demo version. This is an  
application I adore in the Newton. Thanks
