Just arrived from Japan!
I hope the floppy still works.

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 […]

@nriley I haven’t run across an English version yet. There is no manual on the German disk that I have, but I will post some screenshots of both the #NewtonOS application and the classic #MacOS exchange utility.

Absolutely brilliant post about how #macOS Tahoe is a #design car crash in terms of their icon usage:

Yesterday, I was reading #NewtonOS Human Interface Guidelines and I almost cried.

Unlike traditional operating systems such as MacOS, there is no file system and therefore no files in #NewtonOS. Data is instead stored in opaque collections like a database in #AppleNewton Soup

I was told I needed to start journaling offline. Good thing I charged up the AA batteries for my Newton.
Gah this takes me back to high school, I wrote most all my papers on one of these on my breaks while working at Best Buy after school...

Heads up, #AppleNewton folks … it appears that the future date bug has hit again. If your device is running #NewtonOS 2.1, even with the Y2010 patch, it will freeze after setting the date to 2025.
Discussion regarding a possible solution is happening on the mailing list.

The #AppleNewton never supported SSL, even with the Newton Internet Enabler.
Incredibly, a version of Mbed TLS was ported to #NewtonOS allowing third-party applications to use SSL.
Secure IMAP access has been available for the Mail V email client for several years now.
