This is the beginning of a glossary. I don't have the technical skill or background to provide decent definitions so if you see this and have the confidence to put one in then please do!

Definitions
ATA: A file system for storage media that requires Paul Guyot's software to work.
Bookmaker: definition required
Extensions: definition required
Inbox: A catch-all storage area where emails and packages reside until they are ""put away"".
Jaggies: A condition in which the Newton loses its ability to accurately respond to input from the stylus. If you have Jaggies, drawing a straight line from one corner to the other will not produce a straight line on screen.
Linear memory card: The filing system storage media cards that are compatible with the Apple Newton.
NBU: A piece of software available for Classic Mac and Windows that provides backup facilities.
NCU: Newton Connection Utilities. This software is used to connect the Newton to the serial port of a computer so packages (below) can be loaded. It also includes utilities to back up your Newton as well as export documents.

Put Away: definition required
SER-001: A serial interface card for the MP2000/MP2100 designed and built by PCBMan that provides a normal Apple serial connector so that a Newton serial dongle is not required for exchanging data. Both the existing port and the SER-001 port are active simultaneously but only one or the other should be used when making a connection. Unlike the built-in connector, the SER-001 cannot be used to wake the Newton or route audio signals. Installation of the SER-001 requires opening the case of the MessagePad but does not require soldering.
