[NTLK] Navigating the web with the newton

[B Dudney]

I’m no expert, but I think our dear Newts have exceedingly too little RAM to handle current web pages, not least full of endless scripts! Not to mention all sorts of conventions adopted since its browsers were written.

Even Newt’s most sophisticated browser, LunaSuite, back in Newt’s heyday: There were lots of pages no Newt browser could handle at all, or only a little bit.
