Who is the mystery boy?

Nobody knows, but then nobody really cares, either.

I hate kewl and 'hip' stuff. I love old crap and weird and odd things. I do things my way, and more often than not the result is, ehem, peculiar. Not pretty. But who cares? So my setup is perhaps a bit rough and somewhat braindead if compared to the Newton-hotshots. Most fitting, considering the unique hardware I'm using...

DJ Vollkasko, 2005

Hardware

• Dr. Gruendelstein MessagePad 2g00| - a veeeery rare beast!
• Mr. PCBMan's Ser-001 internal serial adapter card (aka DongleKiller)
• Smitheroni Ethernet Card|
• SphinxPicoCard - built-for-Newton BlueTooth.
• AQ300
• Newton Keyboard
• Double-Gruendelized Apple MessagePad 130
• Couple large LinearFlashRamCards from Dr. Gruendelstein, brilliant for shlepping massive Newton ebooks around.

Software

• EBook Reader Tuning

  • X-Newtbook
  • HTMList
  • RotateBook

• Communication

  • Blunt
  • Neo
  • IC/VC
  • Obex

• Apps

  • GPS Map
  • TeleType GPS
  • NewtTest by Dr. Gruendelstein. Brilliant Newton Diagnostics. Don't leave home without it!

• Games

  • WordSquare -- a real must-have!
  • DeepGreen
  • SpeedBump

• Extras tools

  • SmallExtras by EckhartKoeppen--in theory a brilliant app, but somehow it didn't work for me, so I had to kick it off.

  • ICS SleepAid (part of ICS NewtCase)
  • NotesWordCount
  • HWR
  • TWT

Some WikiWikiNewt-Pages I've worked on

• DJVollkaskoSetup
• ChangeSystemSounds
• NewtonConnectivityCD
• GPSOnNewton
• BluntSetup
• MakeNewtonEbooksIndex
• NewtonWishLists--added stuff to both hardware and software wishlists. It would really be great if the Newton would see new, useful and original applications again, stuff that makes you want to get one just for the sake of this one app or tool...

Some Wikipedia-Pages I've worked on

• iPod Hacks
• Monster Island (Novel)
• Monster Nation (Novel)
