Erm, don't sign up for the newtontalk list unless you need another 100+ message a day ML subscription. It was high-traffic the last time I was subscribed.
Shipped with the software for it and in fact was sold in two different versions due to differences in serial ports being different between the two platforms.
I read that and said "Duh, the operating systems were different between Mac and Windows, too!"
But then I realized you probably meant the serial ports on the Newtons were different, in which case you were wrong. There's no such thing as a "Windows only" or "Mac only" Newton.
you could do a lot more partying with all the money you would have saved not buying Palm Pilot after Palm Pilot after Palm Pilot!
Um, the MessagePad 2000 (upgraded to 2100) I have sitting on my desk should have cost me $1200 + $100 for the upgrade (I went for the deluxe package with the keyboard and case, and had some tasty discounts). I haven't priced out a palm unit lately (no real desire for a palm) but those Zauruses are pricey too.
I code by manipulating the magnetic particles on disk with a scanning-tunneling microscope that I control by flipping its power switch at the right times...
I won't argue with either point, but did you see the FCC-folk trying to explain the changes in the law to reporters yesterday? Now there was an example of something that should have been translated from geekspeak -> something humanly understandable. The only person there who asked a clueful question a) was fat and bearded b) asked a question that he and the FCC understood, but none of the reporters did.

There was (is? haven't been through in a while) a kids pizza place in Dearborn, MI that flip-flopped back and forth between CEC and Showbiz at least three times. I had one of my last baby teeth ripped out there!
How many times have you read something you've never seen before to someone else with 100% accuracy? With no "ums" or "uhs"? With no corrections at all? You'd still have to go back and correct the transcription, because it's not going to be 100% accurate to what you said anyway.
Make sure your "public domain" Mozart is actually PD. Take his Symphony No. 40 (please!). The music itself is in the public domain; no one's gonna stop you from recording your own version and selling it, and you owe nothing to anyone for doing so. If you want the sheet music to play from, and you don't transcribe it yourself, you're probably looking at purchasing a copy of that. Someone took the time to transcribe and typeset it for you. As such, the transcriber owns the copyright on their transcription of the PD music. Oh, and that recording you transcribed from; the recording itself is going to be copyrighted too.
Whis is a roundabout way of saying that just because Mozart's Symphony No. 40 is PD does not give you the right to download (from Kazaa or whatever) the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's recording of it.
I'll say up front that I don't know how iTunes' license agreement works. I don't have a Mac, and I don't have iTunes. I'm not a lawyer, but I am an enthusiast who has followed the controversy of how companies are starting to pretend that users need license agreements to use software.

Aside from another link to a slashdot article, it doesn't seem that there was an article in this case. But unless there was a contract signed in INK or normal copyright wouldn't grant the rights needed, the license agreement is void and null.

Not true, at least, not everywhere. It's been a don't ask don't tell sorta thing so far, in Michigan; it's up to the consumer to report all catalog sales tax they've racked up, but the state hasn't yet gone after anyone for not doing so.

AFAICT, the palm was released in 1996. Here is my 1995 posting re:graffiti.

My Newton's going to have a problem in 2010. The ReadMe says the clock stops for the last time in 2920, but I'll probably have a HUD by then.
Damn, I feel like I've been Newton trolling all day or something.
And you think you're so hardcore...

A little larger than a lunchbox?
Yeah, like nBlog.
Newton's still going!

I was going to post pictures of the camera I put in mine, but I ran out of blue-tack...
"leet speal"? Great, now in addition to the (nonexistant) English spell checker, we need a hax0r one too.

"Amateur"... You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of virtual, everchanging mead halls

How many drummers does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, they have machines to do that now.
Or you could put a badly scratched Aphex Twin CD in an unreliable player.
NuBus all the way, baby.
