I got that sony remote pkg, and tried to run it but it kept giving me errors
(this is on a 110). Is there a new version, or was my copy just corrupted?

Thanks

Must just be you, cos mine worked...

Only prob is that after a period ( I don't know if it's time period, or
number of uses period) it wouldn't open anymore....

Like it DID work but then after awhile when you tapped the icon, it acted
like it started up, but nothing came up..

So I've had to keep reinstalling it (also on a 110)..

Nathaniel,

Many thanks for your order of the WriteRight Screen Enhancements. They
should prove to be the solution for your screen scratch woes! However, if
you would like to remove your existing scratches, try using a small
chamois cloth to lightly buff your screen. While this will not remove any
major scratches, it may prove helpful on the minor ones.

If ya call Apple directly, they will replace your screen cover if the unit is s
till under warranty. They take care of shipping and all...I've gotten my box t
o ship it but I haven't had the guts to commit to life without it!

I've noticed that too. I noticed that rebooting helps.
It maybe a heap problem.

Phew.. I thought it was just me...

But at the time, I only had that app on my fresh new, Newt...

What do you mean by rebooting?
Resetting?

I just reinstalled it, and then after the first couple of times of doing,
it, I gave up..

Maybe if I could get my hands on a Newt dev kit, and learn Newt script, I
could get the code of the author....

Hey me too! I was thinking that would be a naughty way to collect Newton
shipping boxes, but then I realized... who cares!
Actually I was going to return Newton to get the 2" scratch replaced, but
I decided that I would only end up with a scratch later, and they would
probably give me a hastle saying it was my fault anyway, and it would come
back untouched... They kept telling me (politely) that they would determine
if it was due to improper use.

At least I got a neat box! :)
