All you can do is have it show up a day early (or more) To see what I mean, go a week into the future in your datebook, and create a new To-do. Your options will be "1 day notice" and on up. Whatever you select, the todo will show up on that day. It's basically useless in my book. If you want to attach alarms and specific times to a todo, you have to purchase a third-party app. P.S.

An Apple Tech Note (#13054) describes how the clock can lose time after each reset: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- TOPIC When I reset my Newton MessagePad, the internal clock loses time. What causes this? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- DISCUSSION Approximately once every 5 minutes, the Newton MessagePad saves the time on its clock to a location in memory. When you reset the Newton, its clock is reset to the last saved time. The result is that the clock can lose up to 5 minutes each time you reset your Newton. Your Newton MessagePad doesn't save the time while it is asleep, so resetting your Newton when it is asleep could result in a greater than 5 minute time loss. We recommend you wake up your Newton before resetting it.

From what you describe, I'd assume the newt doesn't recognize the backup battery at all (as it says "dead or missing" instead of "running low" or so). As you said you switched the battery for a new one (which hopefully isn't dead, too) this probably means that either the battery contacts of the Newt are not doing their job (corroded or bent?), that one or both of them have lost their connection to the main board or that there's a more severe hardware damage in you newt. Try measuring the new batt's voltage, if it is around 3 volts, either the contacts are rotten or the newt has an internal hardware fault. From the description, I don't think Nick's BattMon would help much. This app uses a ROM function to get the current battery voltage, if this returned a valid voltage, the newt would have recognized the batt already (which obviously it doesn't).

I guess it wouldn't take much more time rewriting it from scratch in NewtonScript. It may be different for computationally intensive code (number crunching and such) though. Michael J.

Folks, let me suggest to switch our default to "this person's not a thief"... Even if I took only those packages I've assembled seperately over the last years from many, many sources, I'd easily reach a number larger than 100. If I'd add all the packages I loaded because I was on some site anyway, thinking they might be useful eventually, the number would be considerably higher than that. If I threw in all the packages I have on CD's that I legally bought from software vendors (by that I mean shareware/freeware CD's, not the stuff I registered), I'm pretty sure I could beat 2,647 packages easily. Even if I threw in only those packages whose author's explicitly authorize this kind of distribution. None of the above does automatically make me a "ripper". I can, of course, understand Kenneth's disappointment, given his experiences. It's just that I think we should try, although maybe we've been meeting nothing but a*s*s*h*o*l*e*s yesterday, not to think that all the people we come across today fit in the same template. My experience is there are less dishonest people than honest ones, so for me it's pretty obvious how the default should be. Of course, your mileage may vary. Best Frank PS I do still wonder, however, what you mean by "cleared". May I politely suggest an explanation?

If you want to connect your newton to a Mac, a simple Mac printer cable will do. If, however, you want to connect it to a PC, a standard modem cable, i. e. the one with the 8 pin Mac connector on one side and a 9 or 15 pin SubD connector on the other side will not do the trick. I've tried that, it didn't work. The wiring was wrong. Nullmodem adapter didn't do the trick, either. >Good luck with the Mini8 connector. It needs a tiny soldering iron tip >and a silent hand. I'd never try to solder a Mini8 connector. Either I'd try to get some kind of female solderable connectors that fit on the internal soldering posts of the Mini8 connector, or I'd buy myself a Mac printer cable and two SubD (9 and 15 pin) connectors, cut the Mac cable in the middle and solder the connectors on. SubD connectors can be easily soldered, and that way I'd have two cables for (approximately) the price of one Mac printer cable (SubD connectors cost next to nothing these days).

Although I agree that the list was easier to use while in Sean's hands, let me politely remark that unless we find someone who is both willing and capable to take over, we should thank Laura on our knees (well, figuratively speaking ;-)) ) that she took over the list when Sean had to stop being list dad. I'm pretty sure that if she hadn't done that NewtonTalk would be something we'd look back to with a feeling of kind reminiscence, and I very much prefer the list as it is now to no list at all. Of course there are things that could be better, foremost the fact that digests are too big. But I'm pretty sure that if Laura doesn't fix this, there is some good reason behind it. For me, a very good reason is, among others, that she might not have the time to change this and that she has, after all, a private life, too. Also, let me politely remind everyone here that it would be easily possible to cut each digest size in half, if not less, if list members would stop quoting text chunks the size of Hemingway short stories. Or if they would stop using signatures that, size-wise, resemble a Wilhelm Bush poem.

I have a Messagepad 2100 and am using the Enroute Internet software. I've had no problems downloading and sending my e-mails in the past. I live in Singapore and have gotten it to work here. I've also used it in China and a friend has borrowed my machine to use it in America. It worked fine in both places, using the local ISP's roaming facility. After my friend's trip to America, I restored my settings and it worked fine back home. But soon after, I found I could no longer connect to the Internet. It's not a problem with my modem, which I tested on a laptop. Not a problem with my Internet settings, which I've checked many times. Also, I now am not able to fax too. When I try to download/send e-mail. the program starts to dial the number, then I get this error message: iNet Mail Internet error - 16022 When I try to fax a document, the error message reads: Faxing to (so and so) failed. A communications problem occured. Connection may have been dropped. It's not my phone line too, coz I get the same thing using other phones.

Although it was discussed recently, for the benefit of those who missed it, here goes :- The accelerator board is available from www.pixsolutions.com in Germany, basically it increases the clock speed to about 223 mhz. The disadvantages are that sounds will be played at a faster speed, and the serial port will not work at the higher speed. However, by holding down the power switch for a couple of seconds, it reverts back to its normal (162mhz) speed until next switched off and on again. I have mine fitted for 3 weeks now and it makes a very good speed difference. However it is very tricky to fit oneself so it should really be sent to pixsolutions for this work (they also do the 2000 to 2100 upgrade) Important point, when contacting Oliver Harms (Mr. pixsolutions!) don't use the web site e-mail address, use oharms@pixsolution.com or you won't get anywhere!

Message-ID: <38161212.4D5680DB@rohan.sdsu.edu> Given the limitations of a memory card's read/write cycles (about 100,000?), what does this mean to Newton users? I imagine that most of the contents of a RAM card don't change much. Some parts probably change quite often, however. So, if you store a package on the card- it stays in one place for years, but the soup it creates may change daily or even hourly. A program like Clock, which updates the display every second, could also be making a change in the soup; and if the soup it uses is on the card, it could reach 100,000 changes quite quickly. It would be quite easy to write a program that would read, write and erase every memory address on the card 100K times in just a few seconds. Thus, depending on the software you use, you might get years of use from a RAM card, or only weeks. And there's no way of knowing what all your software is doing in there! Perhaps it is best to store things that don't change much on the card (packages, Newtbooks, etc) and your data (soup stuff) in the built-in RAM (and back it up frequently).

The "problem" with MODs (practically speaking) is that most MODs are either named funny, or they're a new creation by someone.

Well, basically, you'll use the disks to install an application called "Newton Connection Kit" onto your PC's hard drive. Then, using the cable, you'll connect one end to one of the serial port on your PC (usually COM1). Finally, if you look on the right side of your MP100, you'll see some kind of cover over a round DIN-8 port and a power adapter jack. If you have the right cable, you should be able to plug the cable in the DIN-8 port. Then, launch NCK on your PC, and on your MP, you need to open a package called "Dock" or something like that (I don't remember the name). You start a serial connection from your Newton and if the physical connection is good between it and your PC, the Newton Connection Kit on your PC should awake when it will receive some signal from your Newton. From there, it should be pretty obvious to backup, restore or install packages from your PC onto your MP100. Hope that helps. Hey, if someone on the list remember the actual name for the "Dock" package on an MP100, let us know. -- -Laurent. ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Object Factory, Substrate Fannie Mae Phone: 703-833-4266 mailto:Laurent_Daudelin@fanniemae.com Fax: 703-833-7555 Usual disclaimers apply ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1999 14:26:00 -0700 From: "Jared Williams" To: Subject: Re: NTLK Re- PM100 Message-ID: <01bf1ff8$b2b43c10$6602a8c0@cpq6300-1> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_00AE_01BF1FBE.06556410 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable You need to install the software, be it Windows95 or MacOS onto the = system.

I have done the same thing and have about 4,000 packages, some of them demos and some of them ofiicial Apple software and some packages developed by myself and some from software people who no longer are in business. I think the key thing is to give full acknowledgement of the developer and not undercut any software manufacturer currently in the market selling their own packages. I also would suggest you print out a list of the packages you have and compare it to the packages on the latest AMUG disk - you may find there is not a huge difference between what you have and what they have already produced. If there is a significant difference, I would be one of the first in line to get a copy. As a Newton community we do need this vital function to be performed - AMUG has done a wonderful job to date but as a community we also need to be aware of hassles with the assemblage and distribution of packages. One of the major hassles, and I mean major, is that you may have demo or sharewhere packages that are available to the user for a trial period after which they do not work unless you have paid whatever the price is and then inserted their code into the program to continue to use it. Unfortunately some of these software developers are no longer in business and uncontactable --- this is a pain in the A if you have used a package and got to love it. A number of friends have had crashes and reinstalled their software afresh only to forget the code for the software they need for the package. This actually happened to me with Dashboard, which I regard as the first must have package, - luckily Mason Mark of Fivespeed is still in business and so I could retrieve my code. I wonder if, in addition to any local CD production of Newton packages, we should perhaps send copies of the software we come across to some acentral ageny such as AMUG? On another tack, can we discuss the various merits of email packages - I ask this as I have found difficulty with some packages. Enroute seems to not like downloading large amounts of email. I might have an email message list of say 50 or 60 messages per day and Enroute will give up after 20-30 messages. There is no limit set in my software for the package - I wonder if there is something else causing it to falter? I used Eudora Pro and while it is not as well featured as Enroute it is much quicker in download and uses less space on the Newton. Eudora Pro, however, has proved inconsistent in downloading large numbers of emails. I would love to hear people's comments on this.

The card is the PRETEC 56K v.90/Flex and Tima are selling it for $92 (US). It works on my 2000/2100 but the instructions that come with it and those on the PRETEC site did not work. The following worked for me here in Australia (I hope the telphone people aren't monitoring this as I am unsure whether it has compliance, anyway) The internet setup AND the Modem preferences in the preference file have to be set to the same settings. This is the first and most important point if you are dialing through a script. The setup and modem preferences need to be set to the following: *do not tap require dial tone; *tap tone dialing; *connect using right PC Card (A card must be specified due to the bug that is related to the choice of Any PC Card) *modem setup should be Newton Fax Modem. I do not have shares in the company and I didn't receive a concession on the cost of my card for telling you about it. I am still chasing a driver for it to use on the Mac - it does work on the Mac nonetheless, using Supra 56V90 driver in your list of modems. Hmm, I haven't checked to see if Tima still has any of these left but those looking for a good modem, I can recommend it --- it is supposed to also work with MP 120/130 with OS 2.0 --it also is supposed to work with PCs as the floppy disk you get is for PCs.

In my case, I am using my Hayes modem in the Bottom PC card slot (because the screen turns dark when the modem heats up). Also, I would recommend that you use SimpleMail to handle your email (unless you want filtering, which only Eudora can do at this point). It's small, fast, and handles packages. The HP LaserJet that you are trying to print to is not supported by the Newton, probably due to a lack of a driver. I don't foresee anyone writing a driver for it in the near future, so don't go on hoping. Kenneth Wong Vice President The Active Idea Company Private Limited P.S. I'm from Singapore too. If you're still having problems with your Newton, email me directly and we can meet up to fix it. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 1:10 AM Subject: NTLK URGENT: can't download my e-mail > Hello everyone > > I'm not sure whether I'm using the URGENT tag correctly, but I'm getting > pretty desperate and would welcome some help, so please bear with me :) > > I'm new to the list and have a problem that I can't solve, mainly > downloading and sending my e-mail.
