The mighty mite Newton web server
Oh, if only the Newton line had not died its miserable death. If I could combine a Newton with a
Hiptop in some ungodly union, it would be a decent contender for the uber-mobile
device I crave.
But I digress. This article isn’t about my gadget imagineering - it’s about Grant Hutchinson’s gadget imagineering.
He’s got a web server running on a Newton
MessagePad 1200:
“It’s a MP2100 running on my desktop at home. It has its own static IP address and a direct ethernet connection through a high speed NetGear switch attached to my 2.5mb DSL connection. I use it mostly for remote access to my contact list and for posting reminders and notes back to myself. It’s been running pretty much full time (short of the occasional crash) since late 2000.”
Rock on, Grant. Consider yourself the proud recipient of today’s ‘Macgyver Computing’ award.
