Second Post-Apple Newton Life?

Posted by michael on from the newton-beyond-thunderdome dept.

An anonymous reader with a lot of time on his hands writes "As seen on Slashdot b e f o r e, the Newton refuses to die. Since Apple discontinued it, it got ATA, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zeroconf and even a NES emulator. Now, several Mac news sites r e p o r t, Newton users founded an association with John Sculley, who pushed the Newton at Apple, as its honorary president. They're organizing a conference in Paris in September. How long until all these users switch to new hardware?"

    So am going to post it anonymously. But there is this site that offers to give you a free iPod if you complete one off and sign up 5 other people who also complete an offer. www.freeipods.com. Is this a legitamite site or a blatant pyramid scheme? Not that while I did put my referer ID in the link and I'm not trying to trick anyone here, I honestly am curious.

    So this is why Apple made the iPod battery non-replaceable.
