Well, like I said, I contacted the guy who was working on the emulator,
plus I found the foremost authority on Newton OS and asked him if he
would help me with an emulator if nothing came of the other guy.
Oh, an update on the Powerbooks - I got sniped. Wasn't willing to pay
more than $50 (including shipping) for two laptops that might not even
yield one working model. I'm not that upset, though, because I'd really
rather work with an eMate instead.
