No problem there, I'd be using the Newton exclusively for blogging (and PIM), no surfing of web or checking of email... As for encryption, I'm not sure what the hotspots around town use, that'd be my biggest hiccup (no internet at home anymore). I'd have to do a bit of research using my...

I'm not worried about retaining my sanity, as I went mad a looooong time ago... after all, I DID occasionally use my TRS-80 Model 100 (w/acoustic couplers and the nearest payphone) to update my blog, so I know full well about doing things the hard way [:D] ]'> At this point, I'm either...

Thanks for the offer, matey, I may take you up on it... or join the list myself once I have a stable email account again ;) As for the rest of my questions, I ended up reading the rest of the Newton blog which pretty much answered my questions - that a Newton CAN be used as a wireless...

I'm in the market for a more portable blogging solution. For a few years now, I've been using my wireless-enabled Powerbooks (a 5300, 1400, and Lombard) or TRS-80 Model 100 & acoustic couplers to blog on the go, but as I'm "on the go" a lot more lately (and will be for the foreseeable...

Cool, so I have a month to figure out what I'm gonna do!

Heh, I did something similar years ago with a gaggle of sparcstations :)

Soooooo... are we gonna have a Winter Warmup in '09? I'll actually have time to participate, unlike this summer...

I've had it running in Redhat 6.2 (sparc) and Solaris 7 - and this was before I knew what I was doing ;) I'm looking at picking up an HP9000 system in the fall, once my current projects are complete. Likely an old 700-series machine...

I have the Generic version (generic.tgz) :-/

If you need the EnWare software for the Envizex, let me know, I have a (burned) copy or two around here somewhere.

I can tell you, with over a dozen failed attempts under my belt, that the SunPCi will not work under Solaris 10. I HAVE gotten it to work with Solaris 9, though.

Well, if any of you mad scientists need hydraulics, let me know - it's what I do for a living!

Well, the SunPCi card WILL work under Solaris 9, so you won't have to downgrade too far ;) It won't work right out of the box, mind you, but all it takes is creating a few symbolic links to get it to function. Instructions are floating around the net, thankfully!

That's funny - a quad-processor Ultra 80 is likely going to be my next purchase, unless I can acquire a cheap multi-processor Sun Blade machine :)

My main machine, a Sun Ultra 5 (440MHz, 1Gb RAM, 2 x 80Gb HD, DVD-R, SunPCi card) is a dual-boot Solaris 8/Debian "etch" machine. I spend nearly all my time using Debian, as it lets me do everything I want or need. I only use Solaris 8 when I want to learn, or when I want to use my 400MHz...

I just left you a message on facebook... please add me to the group!!

Thanks guys, it's a pity, but real life comes first. Especially since it seems like this meeting is going to be a "career-defining" event :) No worries though... I kept detailed notes during the pre-planning stage of this year's Retrochallenge so I should be able to pick up where I left off...

I know, I experimented ;) Actually, I managed to eke out 200k (it's a TPDD2)... Nope, I've had mine for about three years - and the acoustic couplers (which I picked up off ebay last year) are jet black :)

Nope - salary and commission. As my commission alone funds my hobbies, I have a vested interest in doing well ;P

A number of people I've talked to seem to prefer Warp 3 over other versions. It runs like a top on my 486 DX2/66! For performance sake though, I'm gonna install Warp 4 on a spare Pentium 166MMX I have in the lab...
