Using an Apple Newton...To Host a Website!
Whoops, looks like Grant Hutchinson has found a new way to use an Apple newton. He's actually hosted a website with it! So much for my asking if the granddaddy PDA was dead.

No problem with being wrong though; I do have a problem with the so-called Digg effect. See, I discovered this gem through Digg. Unfortunately, now that a lot of people know about the site, and a Newton isn't exactly the latest in server technology, I was only able to access the homepage and grab this picture (upper left of this post) before I got 503 errors. In other words, now that a lot of people are visiting, the Newton is being pushed to its limits, and I haven't been able to access all parts of the site.

Help Me, Master! Looking at the messages list, seems that people are awed by Hutchinson's Newton-modding skills, and with good reason. As I've written before, Newton-lovers have adapted the PDA to be Wi-Fi capable, play media, and sync with iTunes. But modifying it to run a website? That's insanely great!
