    Bogie is right on one point, the OSX forum is kind of frivolous, maybe a MacOS forum to deal with MacOS specific issues and a Software forum to deal with software issues.



    A Newton forum would be less useful than a sports forum, in my opinion. You'll get maybe one thread a week from a Newton forum. (And both of those would be far less useful than a Windows forum )

    I think we should have a Windows forum too. Name it "Windows Sucks"

    So does anyone have a constructive objection or are you just going to argue that "NO ONE WILL POST THERE, NO ONE WILL POST THERE!"



    Cause that is not real creative.

    Doesn't matter if it's creative or not. It's the truth

    I was slightly drunk when I wrote that ... but the main meaning was:



    1) why do you keep hasselling any thread with a Newton topic?



    2) don't you have anything better to do with your life?



    I mean heck man, I, obviously, went out and had way too good of a time last nite, stumbled back here, ate some M&M cookies, posted some really cracked out responses and then passed out. But here I look the next day [still hung over] and all I see is you posting "Newton threads suck" stuff.



    sigh ... and you are telling Newton users to move on, if its a dead, boring platform you don't care about stop bothering us.

    good point!



    What about a digital hub forum?

    (Newtons/ipods/digital cameras/PDAs etc - basically anything that adds functionality and productivity enhancement to your Mac)

    I can agree with a digital hub forum - like many people I had hoped the iPod would be a next generation PDA. For me a Newton Message Pad is still a head of its time in many areas but it does not do everything I had hoped for in an expected release that was of course too good to be true.



    I digital hub forum would allow for people to ask and discuss a variety of related topics about Apple and Mac related hardware/software that isn't Macintosh. It would be flexible and could include diverse interests - implying that it would get more traffic than a solely Newton forum would.

    I think having a digital hub topic would be a good idea. But Newton having it's own topic is silly. In the digital hub topic you can discuss the newton as well as all the other products out there.



    See I am not totally unreasonable. It's this newton having it's own topic thing that is a tad silly.

    Sinewave, its getting old, it doesn't affect your life. Even when you say "I like a Digital Hub Forum idea" its just so that you can have another chance to say "I don't like Newtons." Why do you bother?

    I like Newtons and I agree that having a forum just for Newtons is silly. Should we have a Pippin forum too?



    Newton discussion belongs in Current Hardware - where everyone else with obsolete hardware posts.

    And having a newton forum somehow effects your life? I sure hope as hell not. I like Newtons .. Hell I am a FAN of the Newton. But it's outdated.. not supported anymore. Hel I can't even connected to my outdated G3.

    Yeah and lets start a open-doc forum! hehe

    Bogie? Sinewave? MacAgent? Any other arguments to put forth? Looks like we're all just repeating ourselves.



    From what I have read thus far, I don't believe there is a valid reason to open a Newton forum.

    No, it appears not Nick - but what about a digital hub forum? I think it has merits!



    Can we post that up as a fresh topic and see if it flies?
