@SergKoren Hey, Serg … would you consider adding a redirect to your server that handles legacy link requests to your #NewtonOS software?
Basically, send any request for the old directory:
/Newton/
To the new one:
/code/newtonos/

@vale Thank you for putting this post together. By the way, there is also WAP client for #NewtonOS, appropriately named NewtWAP.

We’re not sure how Andrew Warkentin is accomplishing it, but he has included #MessagePad 2000, 2100, and #eMate variations of #NewtonOS 2.1 in his massive Virtual OS Museum project.

@AncTreat5358 The #NewtonOS platform is self contained, but can be extended via various networking, including wifi, ethernet, and Bluetooth. There’s also a multi platform emulator that’s in active development.

Update: I found it!
Attention #AppleNewton users … does anyone happen to have a copy of Enfour’s Japanese Newton Language Kit (NLK)?
It was made available to #MessagePad owners running the Japanese version of #NewtonOS.
Not sure if was a download of on CD. Even an exported copy of the packages would suffice.
Boosts welcome.

Absolutely brilliant post about how #macOS Tahoe is a #design car crash in terms of their icon usage:
https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/
Yesterday, I was reading #NewtonOS Human Interface Guidelines and I almost cried.
The current macOS is just so bad I'm very tempted to go back to Linux if for the UX alone
