Installing packages via a memory card

Use another Newton to copy packages to the card, then place that card into the virgin Newton and move the package(s) onto it.
If you don't have a second Newton yourself, or no Newton friend in your vicinity to help you, the CardLending Service offered by FrankGruendel? (Germany) and PaulCurtis? (USA) will help you. Against a refundable deposit fee they'll preload storage cards with all the packages you need to get connected and will send this to your doorstep.
This is also useful if the display of your Newton is broken and you need to save all your data to your desktop via DataRescue (NOS 1.x & 2.x, writen by André Meyer 1996), but don't have your own NewtonFirstAidCard?.
