Poor hearing on the part of female Borneo tree frogs is God's Access Control Device. The male Borneo tree frogs are using an illegal hollow tree to bypass said ACD, and are therefore in violation of the DMCA against God.
God's lawyers are busy writing up the cease and desists right now. I'd hate to be a tree frog.
If the place you're buying from has a "business presence" in the state you reside in, they're required by law to charge you your state's sales tax. And that goes for dead-tree catalog sales, too. Oh great, I suppose I have to go pull that info out from somewhere now...
But I'm not gonna. Do a search through the older stuff on "tax" for yourself.
The NES version is on QVC. I caught this flipping through the channels yesterday morning.
There doesn't seem to be much info on them, but the price of these things (~$22!) make me think they're not paying any licensing fees to the many companies whose games are included.
I don't use this myself, but if you manage to wade through the endless piles of crap that is the newtontalk mailing list you'll find people at least being able to connect to their desktops.
Generation X was a book about the growth of youth culture in England in the 60s. It's an insult aimed at those of us born roughly between the end of the 60s and the middle of the 70s who were told we weren't going to amount to anything because we whined too much. Ironically, the people telling us that were told they weren't going to amount to anything, either. And as much as I hate to say "me too", check
this out for some further reading.
Now, if I remember correctly, we have the right to make backup copies of media, right?
Now, if you had read the story, you would know you weren't being restricted from backing up these files, right? The restriction is that you can listen to them FOUR TIMES. WMP[7.1-9] checks in with MS, says "littlerubberfeet is trying to play that Elvis Costello track again, can he?" and gets a "no" answer after the fourth try.
So go ahead and back up those files. You could even listen to the backup, if you wanted. You'll need a new set of licenses if you want to listen to them more than four times, though.

Accurate OCR?

OpenBook Ruby from Freedom Scientific has served us pretty well. It's a combo scanner/screen reader program. We have it set up for use on a public workstation and it's very accurate. We're still using the 4.0 version, but it appears to be up to version 6.0 now (with built in scan to MP3 conversion!)
Street Fighter II CE was *awesome*. The graphics were almost, but not quite, as good as the SNES SF games. It was also on a non-standard-sized HuCard; where all of the other games I ever saw were flat, this card was twice as thick in the label area. And it played really well with a six button pad, but I managed to beat it on my TurboExpress (think narrow NES pad where the select button switches start, b and a between punch and kick)
There's even a Newton Connection Utilities-like app for Unix/Unix-likes and OS/2 called Newtonlink. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out of the tarball on Debian (3.0, at least, which is the only release I have installed anywhere) and I haven't figured out why, yet.
Unlike the Palm and for the most part, PocketPC, the Newton didn't need to be teathered to the desktop to be useful. I never sync'd with a desktop, and never needed it to get data or applications. I was able to use a browser and FTP client via ethernet for those sorts of things, just like I would on the desktop.
How did you get the ethernet drivers loaded if you never connected it to your desktop? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'd just really like to know, since I don't trust my interconnect socket to last as long as the rest of the Newt. I was under the impression that some of those packages had the copy protection bit set and wouldn't let you beam them from a backup machine.

Why "maybe"?

I bet the story about being blacklisted would be blacklisted.
Hey, that's me!
It might help if you were clear about what you were trying to do. Might the phpGroupWare project be something to base your project on?

(exodus-)West Siiiiiiiide!
The Jesus-vs-Santa Claus battle was never decided. Inquiring minds want to know!
Serial ATA Network.
You had to pay extra for *sync* software. The software shipped with the Newton would allow you to do a backup/restore and install software.
That's it.
You want to do anything with your data besides back it up, say, export your name cards to your desktop PIM? Buy the upgrade.
For reference: for 1.x devices or for 2.x devices.
Which is all a moot point, because damn near every package ever released for the thing is out there, including the Dragon Speech-to-Text demo.

Particularly the last quote. They're not prisoners of war, so we don't *have* to follow the Geneva convention. We are, at the moment though.
Check out Freefall here. You'll also need an interpreter.
Kibo will be pleased!
There are some people who value "DIY" over mass-market acceptance.

From the article, page 1:
What is BSD? If you ask a typical computer "expert," he or she is likely to reply (incorrectly!) that it is "an operating system."
From the article, page 1, TWO PARAGRAPHS LATER:
Industrious programmers quickly developed replacements for these six files and made the BSDs into usable operating systems.
So I'm being pedantic, so what.

Oooh, and since I checked out your dynapad site, I thought I'd mention NewtWiki. Excellent excellent excellent tool.
