Newton Interactive Demo, Version 5.0e

The Newton Demo has been designed to give you an opportunity to see how Newton works and what it can do for you, without ever going to the store. By providing a life-like interactive approach on-screen, you can learn the benefits and explore the possibilities of owning a Newton.  This demo also provides an insight to the growing number of software titles available for the Newton and actually displays some of these software titles in action.  Best of all, this demo is designed to be very simple and informative for anyone who has never experienced Newton and yet provides new information to those of you who already own a Newton. This version has been upgraded to provide information about the MessagePad 120 and additional third party solutions.
 
Once you have finished viewing the demo, you can then call the Newton information hotline noted at the end of this demo to locate the nearest Newton dealer or to have additional product information faxed to you. (800) 909-0260

Mac-OS Version

Installing the demo.  The demo is delivered as a compressed  Self-Extracting-Archive (SEA) file.  To decompress the file, just double click on it.  The demo (identified by its MessagePad icon) will be placed in the folder you specify.  

A computer with at least 2Mb of RAM available for the demo and a 13 color display.  System software version 6.0.5 or later is required, the demo is compatible with System versions through 7.5.1 and probably later.  The demo will attempt to set you monitor to 16 colors, but will function properly, though perhaps a bit slower, at 256 colors.  Whatever your monitors capability, your original display setting will be restored on exit.

We have noted in testing that System Extensions can have a significant impact on the speed and smoothness of the demo.  For best performance, run the demo on a system using the fewest Extensions possible.  

For further speed improvements, run this demo with VM turned off. (A restart is required to make this effective.)


Windows Version

Installing the demo.  The demo is compressed .ZIP  format. Decompressing the demo, requires PKUNZIP and hard drive with at least 3.5Mb of free space.  The uncompressed demo is called MSGPD120.ZIP.

This demo requires a Windows-based computer with at least 8Mb of RAM  and a 640x480 256-color display.  Windows version 3.1 or later is required.  The demo will run on a display set to display more than 256 colors, but performance will be compromised significantly.
