Description of Newton OS dock[edit]

This page - Dock (computing) - makes reference to the OS X Dock acting like the Newton OS dock, and links here. But there's no discussion of this feature. Could someone add one? David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 18:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Halp! I just overwrote the logo[edit]

Hi. I accidentally overwrote the logo image with a different one. I believe that administrators have a way to restore these. If so how do we invoke an administrator to do so? If not please let me know on my talk page and I'll hunt down an Apple Newton OS logo to undo the damage I just did. Thanks. Wikidemo 21:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Newton OS. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20081222123409/http://blog.wired.com:80/monkeybites/2007/01/stepan_pachikov.html to http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/01/stepan_pachikov.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

C++ and NewtonScript[edit]

I don't think it is correct to say that Newton OS was written "entirely in C++". Although a lot of the core system code was written in C++, there was also a lot of system level code written in NewtonScript.
